Neither side could overpower the other. Both sides built strong defensive lines, complete with machine guns, barbed wire, and artillery. The battle plan was usually to pound the enemy position with artillery, before advancing with a wave of men. As one side tried to take their enemy's trench line, the advancing soldiers were killed by the enemies defences. Simply put, the technology surpassed the tactics of the day.
