Weapons
Many weapons were used for the first time in WW1. Rifles were most common weapon on the battle field. Big Bertha took 200 men to put together but could shoot up to 14km away. Also Britain invented the first tank (a.k.a land ship); they wanted it to look like water storage. In 1915 the first tank was called little Willie and could hold three people and went 4.8kph and could not go over trenches and got stuck in mud. Later on the newer models could hold 100 men had revolving turret and could go 6.4kph. Germans were the first to use flame throwers can shoot flames 40m. The first submarines were used by Germany; Amarica joined the war because they fired at every ship including theirs. Also poisonous gas was used in WW1, but Germans were first to make it deadly, it attacked the respiratory system and suffocated soldiers to death. Planes were also used for the first time in war. At first they were used for bombing and spying but later on they were equipped with cannons and guns; fights in the air were called dog fights.
