War, at sea, ashore, and in the air, has a tidal action as technology emerges, develops, and finds its niche. The more disruptive it is, the longer it can dominate the other side until new technology, techniques, and procedures are developed to counter it. In and out the tide goes; the defensive is supreme then the offensive is supreme.
WWI saw the machine gun, and barbed wire make the defensive supreme ashore. Submarines made independent steaming by merchant ships suicidal and the offensive from the (under)sea supreme.
Then, came the tanks, massed heavy artillery, storm troopers, depth charges, ASDIC, and aircraft. By the end, defenses no longer dominated the battlefield as they once had and submarines could no longer operate with near impunity—and only national exhaustion from the Central Powers brought the war to an end before the complete tidal shift at sea and ashore could take place.
The war ended, then developments continued. Hints in places such as the Spanish Civil War gave clues of what was to come again in the next war.
