Tanks
The idea of the tank came from a development of farming vehicles that could cross difficult land with ease by using caterpillar tracks. However, the British army’s hierarchy was dominated by officers from the various cavalry regiments that existed. At the start of World War One, the first engagement between the British and Germans had involved cavalry near Mons.

Field Telephone
The Field Telephone was intended for military use, designed to withstand wartime conditions.

The newly invented airplane entered World War I as an observer of enemy activity. The importance of the information gathered by this new technological innovation was made evident to all the belligerents in the opening days of the conflict.
The Machine Gun
New Types of Warfare.
The machine gun, which so came to dominate and even to personify the battlefields of World War One, was a fairly primitive device when general war began in August 1914. Machine guns of all armies were largely of the heavy variety and decidedly ill-suited to portability for use by rapidly advancing infantry troops. Each weighed somewhere in the 30kg-60kg range - often without their mountings, carriages and supplies.
mustard gas
Chemical weapons in World War I was mustard gas and tear gas. This chemical warfare was a major component of the first global war.In late 1914, German scientist Fritz Haber came up with the idea of creating a cloud of poison gas by using thousands of cylinders filled with chlorine.

Trench Warfare
Trench warfare is a form of land warfare using occupied fighting lines consisting largely of trenches, in which troops are significantly protected from the enemy's small arms fire and are substantially sheltered from artillery. The most prominent case of trench warfare is the Western Front in World War I. It has become a byword for stalemate, attrition and futility in conflict.
