"By the end of 1914, the war had become one of trench warfare, or fighting from trenches. Both sides had dug hundreds of miles of trenches along the Western Front. Neither could make significant advances. Trenches were muddy, unsanitary, and crowded. When troops were ordered “over the top” of their trench to attack the enemy, many were gunned down. Often, their bodies could not be recovered. In an effort to gain an advantage in the war, both sides sought new technologies and weapons. Poison gas was developed to injure or kill enemy soldiers. However, the wind sometimes blew the gas back toward the soldiers who had launched it. Gas became even less effective when both sides developed gas masks to protect soldiers. Other technologies were more effective, such as machine guns and tanks. Aircraft quality improved, and in time, airplanes were not just observing enemy positions: they were equipped with machine guns and dropping bombs. Even with these innovations, neither side gained a battlefield advantage. The war raged on."
