Its effects were brutal, causing slow and painful death, and poison gas became one of the most-feared and best-remembered horrors of the war. Commanders on both sides failed to develop tactics for breaching entrenched positions without heavy casualties. In time, however, technology began to produce new offensive weapons, such as the [[tank]].<ref>{{harvnb|Raudzens|1990|pp=421–423}}</ref> Britain and France were its primary users; the Germans employed captured Allied tanks and small numbers of their own design.

After the [[First Battle of the Marne]], both [[Triple Entente|Entente]] and German forces began a series of outflanking manoeuvres, in the so-called "[[Race to the Sea]]". Britain and France soon found themselves facing entrenched German forces from [[Lorraine (province)|Lorraine]] to Belgium's [[Flanders|Flemish]] coast.<ref name=AJPT2/> Britain and France sought to take the offensive, while Germany defended the occupied territories; consequently, German trenches were generally much better constructed than those of their enemy. Anglo-French trenches were only intended to be "temporary" before their forces broke through German defences.<ref>{{harvnb|Goodspeed|1985|p=199 (footnote)}}</ref> Both sides attempted to break the stalemate using scientific and technological advances. On 22 April 1915 at the [[Second Battle of Ypres]], the Germans (in violation of the [[Hague Conventions (1899 and 1907)|Hague Convention]]) used [[chlorine gas]] for the first time on the Western Front. Algerian troops retreated when gassed and a six&nbsp;kilometre (four&nbsp;mile) hole opened in the Allied lines that the Germans quickly exploited, taking [[Kitcheners' Wood]]. [[Military history of Canada during World War I|Canadian soldiers]] closed the breach at the [[Second Battle of Ypres]].<ref>{{harvnb|Love|1996}}</ref> At the [[Third Battle of Ypres]], Canadian and [[ANZAC]] troops took the village of [[Battle of Passchendaele|Passchendaele]].
