World War I seemed to nullify bewegungskrieg when both sides were unable to maneuver in the face of the superiority of the defense.

USA: Cornell University Press, 1984, pp. 41-106.</ref> So in the opening months of the war, all of the major combatants launched massive attacks that all bloodily failed. Why was the Western Front locked in a stalemate for almost four years?
