Tanks were mainly used for rolling over rough ground, to break through barbed wire and to crush Machines Guns posts that were made very soon after the war. Winston Churchill used his money from his navy department to pay for early experiments to be done on these Tanks.

The first few Tanks were used in September 1916 by Field Marshal Hag.

In August, 534 Tanks went into action. Four days later only six were fit to fight.

Britain kept tying t build better tanks all through the war, but they were still slow and not very good.

Balloons were used in wars around ever since 1794, but their was a problem no one knew how to power them and steer them until 1900.

Machines Guns were one of the most easiest weapons to handle, even though you couldn’t carry them. The easy thing about Machine Guns is the firing because they can fire 8 bullets a second. Machine Guns made it easy to defend if the gunners had good cover in a dug-out or a trench.
