War of Attrition

World war one was named a war of attrition since it was a war in which each side tried to bring down the other by constant attacks. Therefore they had to develop new weapons and strategies in order to bring down the enemy. Since both sides were constantly attacking therefore in many battles fought in world war one had no clear winner. However we know that the most affected country at the end was Germany. Their imperialist ideas lead them to their own defeat.
