How were they fighting in ww1?

In World War I, combat primarily involved trench warfare, where soldiers faced brutal conditions in extensive networks of trenches. This style of fighting led to a stalemate on the Western Front, with both sides using machine guns, artillery, and poison gas, resulting in massive casualties. Soldiers launched offensives to break through enemy lines, often leading to horrific losses with little territorial gain. Additionally, new technologies like tanks and airplanes began to emerge, changing the dynamics of warfare as the war progressed.
