Was there is the interrogative (question) form of There was, which is used to ask if something existed or happened in the past. It inverts the subject and verb to form a question. For example:
There was a problem with the layout. (statement - you are saying a problem happened)
Was there a problem with the layout? (question - you are asking if a problem happened)
This helps ask about the presence or occurrence of something in the past.
