Planes: used to scout enemy positions, but was later used to shoot or throw grenades
Submarines: mostly the U-boat was used
New amour: tanks were more durable, to shelter soldiers
Chemical warfare: gas harmed enemy troops

5. Common fighting
Most of the fighting occurred on land, where trenches were dug, and gunfire was exchanged. Airborne attacks were also common, to kill more troops at once.

6. Experiencing the battle area
Many of the living situations were poor, where viruses, corpses, and harsh environments surrounded troops and nurses. The experiences would be traumatizing for most, not it all, people experiencing the war.
