Strange weapons of world war I
The First World War, was the first war in which the
industrial revolution significantly contributed to the
modernization of warfare. Weapons of war could now be
made on a mass scale because of the development of
factories and assembly lines. Also, new technologies
could be adapted and applied to make advanced
weaponry that could cause massive casualties. For
instance, the plane would become the perfect technology
used to drop bombs. The industrialization and
modernization of weapons made it easier for the Allies
and Central Powers to kill. Hence, WWI become known
as one of the bloodiest wars of all time. The total number
of military and civilian casualties in World War I was more
than 38 million; there were over 17 million deaths and 20
million wounded.
Interestingly, early in the war, the Allies and Central
Powers would both be forced to dig trenches in order
to avoid being killed by new weapons of war and be
over taken. Hundreds of miles of trenches stretched
across the frontlines. Trench warfare would become a
way of life for both sides as well as a key defensive
strategy. The use of trenches would also cause a
stalemate in the war where both sides struggled to
make progress in the war. The use of trenches in the
war would lead to designers and military engineers to
develop many strange weapons and contraptions in an effort to gain an advantage in the war.
