The vickers machine gun was the standard issue gun for the British Army in ww1. It was formally introduced to the British Army in 1912 and was quickly used in the war.  ]]> 2020-01-23 14:30:52 UTC https://padlet.com/abbie_cao/hg66raivf21s/wish/435110250 abbie_cao https://padlet.com/abbie_cao/hg66raivf21s/wish/435110949 This machine gun has increased humanity's capacity to kill each other, and very quickly. Many machine guns could shoot hundreds of rounds of bullets a minute. Many soldiers barely got out their trench before they were cut down. we can now kill people faster. The machine gun lengthened the war and forced it to become a trench war.]]> 2020-01-23 14:31:49 UTC https://padlet.com/abbie_cao/hg66raivf21s/wish/435110949 abbie_cao https://padlet.com/abbie_cao/hg66raivf21s/wish/435111417 The machine gun allowed soldier to rapid fire bullets at the enemy at a rate of 400 to 6000 rounds per minute. This allowed defenders the ability to dominate the battlefield and cause the death of advancing enemy soldiers. ]]> 2020-01-23 14:32:24 UTC https://padlet.com/abbie_cao/hg66raivf21s/wish/435111417 abbie_cao https://padlet.com/abbie_cao/hg66raivf21s/wish/435134612 2020-01-23 15:00:45 UTC https://padlet.com/abbie_cao/hg66raivf21s/wish/435134612 abbie_cao https://padlet.com/abbie_cao/hg66raivf21s/wish/435138064 Richard Fiedler in modern sense invented the flame thrower in 1901. The English word flamethrower is a loan-translation of the German word Flammenwerfer, since the modern flamethrower was invented in Germany. ]]> 2020-01-23 15:04:50 UTC https://padlet.com/abbie_cao/hg66raivf21s/wish/435138064 abbie_cao https://padlet.com/abbie_cao/hg66raivf21s/wish/435140998 Flamethrowers were used to flush soldiers out of their trenches and into the open. The flamethrower, like poison gas, was a psychologically terrifying weapon, leading to its use by the German Army in more than 300 battles in the war. ]]> 2020-01-23 15:08:20 UTC https://padlet.com/abbie_cao/hg66raivf21s/wish/435140998 abbie_cao https://padlet.com/abbie_cao/hg66raivf21s/wish/435141127 flamethrowers consisted of two tanks carried on a soldier's back , once filed with a flammable liquid, the other with propellant gas. The squeeze of trigger would send the liquid shooting across an igniter, projecting a jet of burning fuel at targets up to 18 meters. ]]> 2020-01-23 15:08:29 UTC https://padlet.com/abbie_cao/hg66raivf21s/wish/435141127 abbie_cao https://padlet.com/abbie_cao/hg66raivf21s/wish/435292119 The British invented the tank in response of the trench warfare. In 1914, Ernest Swinton and William Hankey invented the idea of an armored vehicle with conveyor-belt-like tracks over its wheels that could break through. But who actually made the first tank?

They use trenches to attempt to move forward but very slowly.  Due to the trenches defending the opposing side's solders, the countries had to advance in their military technology. soldiers on all fronts had begun digging trenches.]]> 2020-01-24 01:22:01 UTC https://padlet.com/abbie_cao/hg66raivf21s/wish/435455240 abbie_cao https://padlet.com/abbie_cao/hg66raivf21s/wish/435456290 This trench fares are narrow holes in the round that the soldiers dig. They would sometimes put bobbed wires around so that they can hear someone at night. These trenches had their purpose, as said in the other paragraph. Which is to protect themselves from heavy firepower. This was kind of like their shield, there some-what safe shelter. ]]> 2020-01-24 01:26:50 UTC https://padlet.com/abbie_cao/hg66raivf21s/wish/435456290
