5 How would you describe the way a soldier felt seeing the destruction a tank could cause for the first time? “We heard strange throbbing noises, and lumbering slowly towards us came three huge mechanical monsters such as we had never seen before… The three tanks assigned to us straddled our front line, stopped then opened up a murderous machine gun fire, enfilading (exposed to round of bullets) us left and right.”

7 What impact did machine guns have on WWI?

8 What impact did German U-Boats have on WWI?

9 What impact did poisonous gas have on WWI?
On April 22, 1915, German forces shock Allied soldiers along the western front by firing more than 150 tons of lethal chlorine gas against two French colonial divisions at Ypres, Belgium. This was the first major gas attack by the Germans, and it devastated the Allied line. In January 1915, the Germans fired shells loaded with xylyl bromide, a more lethal gas, at Russian troops at Bolimov on the eastern front. Because of the wintry cold, most of the gas froze, but the Russians nonetheless reported more than 1,000 killed as a result of the new weapon.
