New Weapons & Strategies of War Objective: I can critique how advances in technology, communication, and transportation improved lives, but also had negative consequences.
Machine Guns Shoot Bullets per minute Very large and heavy Could not be moved easily
Tanks Developed as a method to get over “No Man’s Land” Overall, tanks were unsuccessful during World War One
Poison Gas Very harsh weapon during this time 3 different kinds Mustard Chlorine Tear
Airplanes Multiple uses – Spy, Bomb, Deliver, Transport, etc… Were not made very well at the time, still new technology. Overall unsuccessful in World War One
Artillery Field Guns Long Range weapon – Responsible for most deaths during the war. Extremely large
Submarines Underwater advantage!! Very popular for the Germans Also used torpedoes and top side guns
What can you prove?.... Entry #16 2/25/15 In your opinion, decide whether you believe the use of poison gas was justified during World War I (Was it right to use it?).
