New technology. Weapons which had never been used before were killing men by the thousands on both sides. Also, the 4 year stalemate due to trench warfare (neither side could get ahead of the other). Tactics were also outdated. An example of this was in the Battle of the Somme, where the generals sent waves and waves of men at walking speed to their inevitable death.
