WWI: Rise of the Machines
WWI was the first truly mechanised war. All sides began the conflict with strategies akin to the Napoleonic Wars, sending their troops into battle unprepared for the destructive nature of the new technologies such as Maxim machine gun and fast-firing artillery. We examine how quickly technology progressed throughout the war; from aerial photography to the first ever tank. In no other war was the development of combat machines as fast or consequential.
