Detailed explanation-1: -Why did most of the combat on the Western Front in World War I take place in aa relatively small area? The armies became immobile because of trench warfare.
Detailed explanation-2: -The majority of the fighting took place in Europe along two fronts: the western front and the eastern front. The western front was a long line of trenches that ran from the coast of Belgium to Switzerland. A lot of the fighting along this front took place in France and Belgium.
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: -The opening engagement on the Western Front was the Battle of Mons on 23rd August 1914. However after early battles of movement, the Western Front stagnated into trench warfare. In 1915, efforts were made to break the deadlock with costly Allied offenses at Neuve Chapelle and later in September at the Battle of Loos.
