Answer:

It made more difficult for the infantry soldiers who did most of the fighting. The new technologies led to trench warfare and the lack of new tactics led to massive slaughter at the hands of the new technology. Caused the infamous trench warfare to happen and the machine gun, especially, made it very easy for defenders to kill large numbers of soldiers who were attacking them.So, the machine gun caused defensive, trench warfare to be necessary.
