WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Stalemate describes a condition in war in which neither side can change the front lines dramatically no matter how hard it tries. WWII never reached stalemate in Europe.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stalemate is a kind of draw that happens when one side has NO legal moves to make. If the king is NOT in check, but no piece can be moved without putting the king in check, then the game will end with a stalemate draw! Here’s an example of the most simple stalemate: If it’s black’s turn to move, the game is over!

Detailed explanation-3: -The conventional explanation for why the Western Front in World War I settled into a stalemate is that the power of defensive weapons was stronger than the offensive methods employed.

Detailed explanation-4: -One of the most common stalemate scenarios is the corner stalemate. In this situation, a king is locked into a corner by a queen or other piece two rows away and cannot make any legal moves.

Detailed explanation-5: -European armies found themselves in a frustrating stalemate in the muddy trenches of France, Belgium, and Eastern Europe. On the Western Front, Germany, Austria, and Hungary faced down the Allies, France and Britain over barbed-wired No-Man’s Land running north to south over nearly the entire continent.
