WWI - A War of Many Firsts
Tasks
1) Select two pieces of technology from the previous list
2) Conduct research on them focusing on what it was used for, who/what nation invented it, the difference it made on the battlefield, the consequences it had in regards to warfare overall and how it influenced future technology/warfare. I have provided a link for information on each of the different types of technology, but you should try to find at least two more sources to ensure that your research is both accurate and descriptive.
