Question

thanks for the answers =)

Answer 1

-marching
-tanks
-submarines
-early aircrafts


"As with most other technologies, the aircraft underwent many improvements during World War I."

"World War I was the first conflict in which submarines were a serious weapon of war. In the years shortly before the war, the relatively sophisticated propulsion system of diesel power while surfaced and battery power while submerged was introduced."

"Although the concept of the tank had been suggested as early as the 1890s, few authorities showed interest in them until the trench stalemate of World War I caused serious contemplation of unending war and ever escalating casualties."

Answer 2

Most soldiers during the first world war were transported by rail to within 10 miles of the front and then marched the last stage to the front. Towards the end of the conflict the use of vehicles had grown so that by the time of the second world war most soldiers were moved by lorry.

Answer 3

Marched. Bicycle and by horseback in some case. Although calvary was pretty much found to be useless what with the advent of modern weapons.
