Military strategists defended the use of poison gas by saying it reduced the enemy's ability to respond and thus saved lives in offensives.

Grenades: In World War I, hand grenades were also known as “hand bombs.” The general philosophy for their use in the fighting armies was that grenades could kill the enemy underground or behind cover. They could also force the enemy into the open, providing targets for rifle and machine gun fire.

Machine gun: Machine guns could shoot hundreds of rounds of ammunition a minute and the standard military tactic of World War One was the infantry charge. Casualties were huge. Many soldiers barely got out of their trench before they were cut down

Submarine:Germany retaliated by using its submarines to destroy neutral ships that were supplying the Allies. The formidable U-boats (unterseeboots) prowled the Atlantic armed with torpedoes. They were Germany's only weapon of advantage as Britain effectively blocked German ports to supplies]]> 2021-10-21 19:37:47 UTC https://padlet.com/amandatattrie/xi4sulpcf5oruced/wish/1834557704 https://padlet.com/amandatattrie/xi4sulpcf5oruced/wish/1834557900 2021-10-21 19:37:53 UTC https://padlet.com/amandatattrie/xi4sulpcf5oruced/wish/1834557900 Look https://padlet.com/amandatattrie/xi4sulpcf5oruced/wish/1834558789 2021-10-21 19:38:21 UTC https://padlet.com/amandatattrie/xi4sulpcf5oruced/wish/1834558789 https://padlet.com/amandatattrie/xi4sulpcf5oruced/wish/1834564952 2021-10-21 19:41:30 UTC https://padlet.com/amandatattrie/xi4sulpcf5oruced/wish/1834564952 Flash grenade https://padlet.com/amandatattrie/xi4sulpcf5oruced/wish/1834566377 The main ones utilized were the American Mark I, French VB rifle grenade with discharger, French Model 1916 Smoke and suffocating grenade, British Type No. 27 combination hand and rifle grenade (white phosphorus), French Model 1916 Lachrymatory and Irritating Grenade and French Model 1916 incendiary grenade]]> 2021-10-21 19:42:20 UTC https://padlet.com/amandatattrie/xi4sulpcf5oruced/wish/1834566377 The modern smoke bomb was created in 1848, by the British inventor Robert Yale. He developed 17th-century Chinese-style fireworks and later modified the formula to produce more smoke for a longer period of time. https://padlet.com/amandatattrie/xi4sulpcf5oruced/wish/1834571783 2021-10-21 19:45:30 UTC https://padlet.com/amandatattrie/xi4sulpcf5oruced/wish/1834571783
