Breaking a stalemate in warfare was difficult because the technology that made this type of war impossible had yet to be invented. Eventually, the U.S. and Britain developed things like planes and tanks that made fighting war in the trenches suicidal.

Did poison gas help stalemate in World War 1?

The stalemate was already firmly established before poison gas was ever used. The leaders turned to using gas in an effort to break the stalemate. They hoped to wipe out all defenders of a section of the enemy lines, allowing them to break through over the gassed area and possibly begin to roll up the enemy lines to either side of the gassed area, and ultimately to break out of the trenches and resume a war of movement.
