Download The Tanks of World War I: The History and Legacy of Tank Warfare during the Great War AudioBook Free
World Warfare I, also known in its time as the "Great Warfare" or the "Warfare to End all Wars", was an unprecedented holocaust in terms of its utter scale. Fought by men who hailed from all corners of the world, it saw millions of soldiers do fight in brutal assaults of attrition which dragged on for weeks with little to no respite. Tens of millions of artillery shells and untold vast sums of rifle and machine gun bullets were fired in a issue that demonstrated man's capacity to get rid of each other on the heretofore unprecedented scale, and as always, such a battle brought about technological innovation at a level that made the boom of the Industrial Trend seem stagnant. One of the main breakthroughs in armed forces technology associated with World Warfare I, and certainly the one which continues to fully capture the public creativeness, was the introduction of a battle machine that came to dominate the face of land fights throughout most of the 20th hundred years: the tank. As an idea, it had not been revolutionary; in truth, it harkened back again to classical antiquity and to the Middle Ages, including the protected battering rams and testudos which had made frequent performances on traditional battlefields.
