Why Is Ww1 Important

In World War One the weapons that they used were machine guns, poison gas, and tanks. BOOM! BAM! The dreadful sounds of the dangerous guns in WW1. Those sounds are the scariest things anyone has ever heard! It was never different back then because when people heard those shots they were terrified. Most likely if you were out in the open you were the first to be killed. Then the houses, and more. The last place they would need to check is underground. It would take days even weeks to hunt down every last one of them. Only the soldiers that were fighting for freedom were left, and their families were with the soldiers. The sadness continues.

The poisonous gas was used in WWI ,but never deadly. Most of the time the people who were getting fired at would know it would come. The first time less than 1% of the population was killed, and about 7% was put to sleep or “somehow they survived” They would know that it would be coming like I said before. To solve this problem they made this product called gas masks. Now you people all think that it was made by the China but is wasn’t. It was “made” by the Germans. No they just discovered the parts or chemicals they needed. So really the Germans made, and
were the first to use poisonous gas followed by the French. Let me tell you a little about the first attack. Nobody knew the battle was coming on April 22, 1915, and to be so successful with Fritz Haber. Now Haber had fought in his own battle to try out the poisonous gas. The first large use of the chemical weapons was in 1915. By the end of WWI scientist discovered some different chemicals for different weapons.

The tanks were very powerful in WWI.
It’s history of it can be brought back to the 18th century. Now the idea of the tank came from the making of farm vehicles that would have to cross the land very quickly. They used what they called “caterpillar tracks” to get around. In August 1914 all the countries French, Germans, British, Russians and Austrians had all made fighting cars the could fight on the “normal” terrain. Now the design was by Richard Edgeworth. A very manly guy you know. Brave. He was born on May 31, 1744, and sadly died on June 13th, 1817. I know what your thinking. Like I said he did good things like design the tank which is what we are here to talk about today. The tank played a big role in all of the wars. It was first used in a little battle named
Flers.

Machine guns were used in all wars mainly WWI. They were made to dominate the battlefields, because every time they would shoot they could take out a good 10 people! When it was made the gun would always rapidly overheat. Only because it was new and needed to be tested a little longer. When the people tried to not get burned by the machine guns they would put water. Sadly the machine guns would overheat sometimes in less than two minutes! Now the machine gun was made in 1862. It was very powerful, so the people really wanted the gun. The machine gun were used in the wars World war, American Civil war. Great Britain, and last but not least WWI. The people could make many different machine guns but only Hiram Maxim could make it like the real machine gun.

Finally, The WW1 was known as the “first” war. The war began on June 28, 1914 and ended on November 11, 1918. Those long years, sometimes no way of surviving, but finally from 4 years we finally have our peace and good freedom. The right to speak and do whatever we want. This freedom is called ability. So everyday we can thank someone even if they're not alive we can thank them for severing in our WW1. We had our freedom until WW2.
