What were the first few years of world war i like? be elaborate.

In the first few years of World War II, both sides of the war were mainly stuck in stalemate, which is like a draw neither side was gaining or losing much ground, but I'm sure as you can probably imagine it was still a gruesome war with lots of bloodsheds, injuries, and casualties, but both sides continued to try and outsmart the other side in the great war, but as stated before they were mainly stuck at stalemate in the first few years. Hope this helps :-).
