Nevertheless, the appearance of tanks increased throughout the war, as the issues with earlier models were addressed. Both British and French tanks played a significant role in the allied
Tayler Hedgecock Dr. Allen Comp 2 MWF 11 AM M1A1/2 Abrams There have been numerous inventions and advancements in war technology. One of the most recognized contraptions ever built was the armored weapon on caterpillar treads, the tank. Each country has their own designs for these famous machines, even having a main battle tank that leads in the advancements and versatility above the rest. Currently the United States of America is putting the M1A2 Abrams main battle tank into service.
M4 Sherman Designed after the defeat of the french army the United States engineers this tank transforms into a bulldozer tank but by far this was not the best tank in WW2. M4A4 Sherman
World war one affected technology through a couple of things, the most important being weapons. Weapons played a huge role during the war, and in deciding which side would win. World war one affected technology in a few different ways. One of them being guns. They were much bigger than what they were used to, such as a machine gun. Since this new weapon could shoot very rapidly (600 rounds per minute) one of the sides fighting in the war could easily wipe out a whole line of an army in one shot. This gave the side with the new technology a huge advantage in winning, this most likely determined which of the sides would win the war. Which meant that soldiers could no longer stand in a line and shoot at each other.
World War 1 saw the death of millions of people. Why is it so many people got injured and died during the course of World War 1? Why was the war so long? The answer? The answer to this question is artillery. Artillery is arguably one of the most vital innovations in World War 1. The development of artillery gave both sides a key weapon which was technologically superior to every other firearm on the battlefield. However, due it being technologically superior compared with many other weapons used by infantry soldiers on the ground during the war, artillery had the largest impact on the people who had to face it. Infantry soldiers. But how did the development of artillery impact infantry soldiers in World War 1? The development of technologically
Title Artillery in WWI was devastating even outmatching the early tanks they had multiple types of artillery, which all had their perks. they were all killing machines in their own right and they were all rulers WWI. they were all hindered by the trenches pretty much needing direct hit to do anything to the enemy. yet they were still most effective killing machines in world war 1. light guns weren't as powerful as heavy or howitzer artillery they only shot 4 to 6 pound shells of ammunition.
WW1 and 2 is all based of disagreements and impulsive decisions. This leads off into wars and when there's war, there's guns. Guns are a weapons used by humanity to fight wars or against something. There are a shaped metal that is meant to shoot projectiles typically at an organism to end a problem it's causing. Guns were big in these two wars because they were the main weapon in the arsenal of every country. They showed the fear in people and showed power from each leader. Guns are the beginning to WW1 and WW2, it's also the end to them.
The technological development of heavy artillery in World War 1 was the most significant and it has the largest impact on the present day. Firstly, the heavy artillery that was used in World War 1 helped change how wars were fought from then on. In World War 1, many European countries used cavalry and other uses of horses because of how wars were previously fought. However, approximately 8 million horses were killed due to the new technology that was used in World War 1. The efficiency of the heavy artillery and the craters that the shells formed made horses useless which led to horses not being used in more modern wars. Secondly, the idea behind heavy artillery is still used in more modern wars. The Soviet Union and the United States of America
As the technology for4 war increased, they were effective when armies were on the move. Because of machine guns, warfare after WW1 would mostly focus on small unit tactics. Without machine guns, WW1 would have taken much longer, and there would probably ended in different
WW1 is known as the first modern war because it saw the incorporation of mechanical weapons.
World War 1 is famous for various things, one of them being the improvements in technology presented in this war. These new technologies that were used in times of war range from weaponry and heavy artillery, through war vehicles to upgrades in communication between troops. As many people would agree on, the biggest game changer in technology is the machinegun, as this powerful work of art managed to single handedly change the layout of war, and introduced trench warfare as necessary tactic in World War 1. The machine gun would fire out 600 rounds per minute.
Rotary engines were used in WW1 because of the fact that they were air cooled which made them lighten and more efficient as they didn’t need any other sources of cooling besides air (Aircraft Engines). The last inaccuracy with the fighter planes in Flyboys was the movie failing to show how often new aircrafts were introduced. In WW1 one side would come out with a new plane which would give them an advantage for a short time and within a few months the other side would also give them an advantage and it tended to go back and forth throughout the war (C N

Kyle Mizokami wrote, “The result was a single man with the firepower of an entire squad of musketmen” (Mizokami, 2016). The United States lost nearly two percent of its population during the time due to the powerful weapons that were used. One weapon that was turned down and not used in the War, but invented during the war was the Gatling Gun. Also recognized as the world's first machine gun. It could fire 190 bullets per minute (Wheeler, 2006).
Allied escort fighters such as the P-51 Mustang were fitted with extra fuel tanks under their wings, drastically increasing their range from 500 to 2000 miles. The number of bombs capable of being dropped over the target area increased substantially. The destruction wrought on German cities scaled up dramatically. The result of this for German civilians was, ‘their morale, their belief in
