WEAPONS OF WORLD WAR I
Weapons and technology played a key role in the events of World War I. For instance, World War I is often characterized by the stalemate conditions created due to trench warfare. This was especially evident along the trenches of the Western Front. As such, the major powers of World War I introduced and made use of weapons in an effort to end the stalemate conditions. For example, some of the most important weapons of World War I include: airplanes, airships, machine guns, poison gas, rifles, submarines and tanks. World War I was a deadly conflict as shown by the millions of military and civil casualties it caused.
