The use of trench warfare contributed to a long period of stalemate during World War I.

Explanation:

Trench warfare is a form of warfare, in which the fighting armies maintain static lines of fortifications dug in the ground, called trenches. Trench warfare arose from a revolution in firearms. There were periods of trench warfare in the Civil War (1861-1865) and the Russian-Japanese War of 1904-1905, but it reached its peak of brutality and mortality on the Western Front of World War I, where this type of fighting produced a stagnation of three years, until the American forces entered the war and unleashed the conflict in favor of the allies.
