The mortars  were built in the years of 1908-9. They were first put to use when Germany was fighting at the French front.  

The artillery was used in World War One as a form of attack around the time of the trench warefare . The artillery was first used by the United Sates. It was one of the weapons that could use at first hand. When it came to making the artillery the US got their tool and supplies from the French.

The artillery of world war 1 was used to counter the trench warfare. Artillery was now able to shoot farther with more explosive shells so because of that enemies in trenches would no longer be safe and would be fired upon]]> 2017-01-24 19:40:57 UTC https://padlet.com/432514/2wh0vpkgcsqn/wish/149150101 How deadly was the artillery and mortar? 401815 https://padlet.com/432514/2wh0vpkgcsqn/wish/149150338 More than any other World War 1 weapon,  the artillery inflicted the most casualties.  During the time of World War 1, about 14,000 types of artillery were used.  Most of the time they were used for infantry attacks (foot soldiers).  A large part of the shells were fired to their enemies in hope that they would land in their trenches or at least hit the target.  
It's advantage was that it could fire from a trench with out  being exposed to the enemy.  The mortar is also much lighter that an artillery.  When there was a war and both sides had an equal amount of weaponry and mortars,  the effect the weapons would have would be highly deadly.
(Also there was poison gas)

(This is a WW1 artillery)]]> 2017-01-24 19:41:35 UTC https://padlet.com/432514/2wh0vpkgcsqn/wish/149150338 When were artillery and mortars used? 348764 https://padlet.com/432514/2wh0vpkgcsqn/wish/149151321 . Artillery and mortars were used before an infantry battle, to create distraction away from the attack place. Artillery  was used to shoot schells containing another deadly WW1 weapon.
In the 19th century, Britain and France exploited the rapid technical developments in artillery to serve a War of Movement

The artillery was used because of it's strength. It was first used by the US when their was the time of the trench warfare. ]]> 2017-01-25 19:49:59 UTC https://padlet.com/432514/2wh0vpkgcsqn/wish/149449026 What was the impact? 432514 https://padlet.com/432514/2wh0vpkgcsqn/wish/149744245 The impact that these new devices caused in the ww1 was that they were used perferably durning the trench warfare. These machines were very deadly and were effective during the war. ]]> 2017-01-26 19:54:51 UTC https://padlet.com/432514/2wh0vpkgcsqn/wish/149744245
