World War I, also known as the First World War, was a global war originating in Europe that lasted from July of 1914 to November of 1918.

The technology developed for World War 1 was mainly offensive and this caused the war to be battled in trenches. Key technological developments include but are not limited to-the machine gun, poison gas and the creation of tanks. These innovations with new advancements

Warfare is a grim and horrible thing. Napoleon’s wars cost hundreds of thousands of lives for example. Yet, less than one hundred years later, Europe would discover the full horror of modern war. The technology of World War I made that conflict incredibly agonizing and prolonged the conflict, costing many lives. In the end, technology also produced some startling results. World War I was fought on the Western and Eastern fronts. Germany and its allies engaged France, England, Russia, and eventually
