What affect did World War 1 have on the evolution of technology ?

Question

history

Answer 1

poison gas was also used for the first time in WW1
Submarines, tanks and better weapons

Answer 2

WWI raised the stakes of war to unbelievable levels and invented entirely new, terrifying ways to die in battle. Poison gas, tanks (though admittedly none were that great), machine guns, the use of war planes (though again, none were very good), flame throwers (primarily a German weapon), submarines, and, oddly enough, barb wire.

Long story short, killing became meaner, faster, and more widespread. This was the first war whose casualties soared into the millions, helped in large part due to trench warfare and the killing machines introduced on both sides.

Answer 3

All wars accelerate the development of technology.

The tank, and rapid development (not invention) of the aeroplane, are 2 things that came out of WW 1
