World War I Technology

Poison Gas

Killing capacity was limited, only killing 4% of combats

Left people in agony for days, instead of killing them right away


Gas Masks were created in response to poison gas


Tanks

Ended trench warfare and brought back some mobility to the Western Front

Crossed difficult land with ease


Tanks were made in response to Trench Warfare


Machine Guns

Killed many soldiers at once, because of continuous fire

Soldiers barely got out of the trenches before getting shot down


Trench Warfare was created in response to machine guns
