"It is both responsibility and the custom of the Royal Navy to activate the opponent wherever there exists water to float a dispatch." - Admiral Sir Henry Jackson World War I, also known in its time as the "Great War" or the "War to End all Wars", was an unprecedented holocaust in terms of its large range. Fought by men who hailed from all sides of the world, it saw an incredible number of soldiers do fight in brutal assaults of attrition, which dragged on for a few months with little to no respite. Tens of an incredible number of artillery shells and untold vast sums of rifle and machine weapon bullets were terminated in a issue that showed man's capacity to eliminate each other on the heretofore unprecedented range, as always, such a battle brought about technological innovation at a rate that made the growth of the Industrial Trend seem to be stagnant. World War I got the first truly commercial battle, and it created a paradigm which come to its zenith with World War II, and towards which virtually all equipment, advancement, and training were dedicated throughout the Chilly War and the rest of the 20th century. To this day, modern warfare remains synonymous with tanks and mass infantry battles, although a confrontation of the nature hasn't occurred (except briefly during Procedure Desert Storm) since World War II. The long lasting image of World War I is of men caught in muddy trenches, and of great armies deadlocked in a struggle neither could get. It was a battle of barbed cable, poison gas, and horrific deficits as officers led their troops on mass charges across No Man's Land and into a hail of bullets. While these impressions are all too true, they conceal the actual fact that trench warfare was dynamic and constantly developing throughout the battle as all armies battled to find a way to break through the opposing lines.
