While World War I is not the First War these devices were deployed in, they had a massive impact on the way the war would be fought. Which newer technology's rapid firing capabilities wreaked massive casualties on soldiers and forced them to dig trenches to hide from the overwhelming firepower?
Answer Machine guns
The machine gun was a game changer. Never before could a small group of soldiers wield such incredible firepower. The machine gun made mass infantry and cavalry attacks obsolete and forced generals to experiment with new strategies and tactics.
