The new technology that changed history the most during World War I was machine guns because they were portable and automatic weapons. I say they changed history because they helped soldiers when clearing opposing trenches. Not only could they be shot in a short amount of time with rapid bursts but they also killed many defending soldiers. They were also one of the most important weapons of World War I.

Andy A-New technology that changed WW1 was the newly added trench shotgun this was the first shotgun that was made and used for the war that the USA used . It was made with the purpose of killing enemy’s in close range in the trenches or in bunkers. The shotgun shot out 9 .33 caliber pellets per shot and had 5-6 rounds 0of 12 gauge buckshot. With this firepower it had enough damage to kill an emery with on single shot in hip fire or close range. Also was equipped with a bayonet

New technology that changed history the most during ww1 was probably the tear gas’s because it would attacked you’re eyes and circulation styem and also if it was exposed to skin and can also eat away you’re organs. tear gas was first used by French.

The new technology that changed history in WWl was the machine guns (miniguns). They changed history in WWl because it was an automatic and powerful weapon that would shoot rapidly fast and easy to kill soldiers.

In my opinion i think tanks were the most advanced technology during Word war 1, Tanks had so much benefits, They were made to destroy anything in sight but needed 8 people to opperate the tank but in my opinion it’s worth it. they had a dramatic effect on german morale and proved effective in crossing trenches and wire entanglements, but they failed to break through the German lines.

New technology that changed history the most during WWI was the airplane because they were good for delivering supplies and scouting. They only needed two people to operate it (pilot and bomb dropper). Large formations of aircraft were prefers for an aerial attack.

New technology that changed history the most during WWI was poison gas because it killed many soldiers and caused PTSD. Poison gas ate away internal organs, caused blisters, severe skin burns, vomiting, coughing, chest pain, shortness of breath, blindness, etc. This caused shell shock (PTSD) in soldiers. This made soldiers get scared if they felt any internal pain because it takes 48 hours for poison gas to take effect. There were a million casualties due to poison gas in the war.

A weapon that changed WW1 was tanks. It was great for crossing over trenches and entering the “no man’s land”. It could be used for cover while taking fire and support soldiers with cover fire. It made a great weapon against open area warfare and vehicles.

Flamethrowers change World War I the most because it showed people how to burn people alive . It also show people how to use fire for harm and how it can scare people for life. Also Germany was the first one to use flamethrower . Another thing was that the flamethrower that Germany used was cable of firing a jet of blaze that was 20 yards long.

Tanks were the most advanced technology. I think tanks were the best because they still use them in war today. Also helped destroy buildings.

New Technology that changed history the most during WWl was flamethrowers because it would do a lot of damage “neutralize” (burn alive) enemy soldiers, Also it can go up to 20 yards. First used by the German troops in the WWl in February 1915.

Submarines are important because they are now used to discover new parts of the ocean that we have never seen before.

Submarines were a new thing in ww1 and were used by the Germans to destroy ships that were supplying their allies. These submarines were very affective because they weren’t widely used before WWI so people weren’t expecting them when they came out of the water.

Tanks were new in WW1 they provided mobile cover and heavy fire as the troops advanced

The largest bore of an artillery piece in WWI (‘bore” means the diameter of the barrel or tube) was on the French 520mm. (French artillery was always pointed toward Germany - even in practice.) The Big Bertha was a German 420mm howitzer, named for a family member of the Krupp Arms manufacturer.
It likely was a large contributing strongly to the Shell Shock that became a large source of PTSD for the soldiers in The Great War

Tanks helped a lot by being able to drive over trenches although the tank were small it took a couple of people to operate the tanks

I think that tanks were the most advanced technology because it was a armored vehicle, and they’re still used to this day as we speak.
