During World War I, German and Allied armies were stalled in their attempts to advance and capture more territory. In a sense, they "dug in" meaning they fortified their positions in France by digging and manning long and deep trenches. When it seemed proper to do so, one army would attempt to take over their enemies' fortified trenches by charging into the enemies gunfire. Little was gained by this. It was the cause of many casualties.
