Was Technology Used During World War One?

How lethal was technology of weapons during World War 1?
The time period of 1914 to 1918 there were massive deathsrelated to technological advances of weapons. There were many technological developments that would make weapons more powerful and deadly. Technological advances would mean that winning the war would be impossible for both sides. As you might be wondering how could technological advances make winning the war more impossible to win. Well the most simple answer to this would be that the more advanced technology gets the more deadlier the weapons would also get this would mean that there would be an increase in deaths for both sides and it would mean winning the war would be harder nearly impossible to win.
New technology made war
Technology caused slaughter, carnage, and destruction. Both technology and World War 1 changed the world. A. Torry Mclean’s article, WW1: technology and weapons of war, says Most technological advances occurred in WW1 such as making guns more powerful and planes, tanks and of course the submarines also. Improvements in machine guns were originally developed by an American whose name was Hiram Maxim. He made the power of machine guns that more deadly. The weapons full potential was demonstrated in Somme battlefield in July 1916, when it killed and wounded almost 60,000 British soldiers in only one day. Imagine how lethal this gun is when it just killed nearly 60,000 people. This gun was at the time the best of the best to use in a battle field. Now imagine how things would be if both sides of the battlefield would have this exact same weapon on each side? This would mean millions of millions of deaths. Also that would make winning the war that much more impossible right.This meant both sides are just brutally killing each other, horrifying deaths every
Many things that were created were very useful at some point and time in war. Many things helped one side take control and another keep the enemy far from camps. Also many things were created just to kill many people at once. In today’s era war is much different. Why? Because war is much advanced just like weapons and transportation. One thing I learned about how war changed was that when people went to war they would walk for days just to get to enemy lines or just to help their allies. Any solders would get nasty trench foot from waling in wet shoes and nonstop. Soldiers would literally walk with wet shoes for days and get a nasty trench foot. In article, World War 1 by Josh graham, there were many things that would take soldiers’ lives but trench foot was one cause for some
