3D Museum: Technology and Weapons Used During World War I
Gas Mask- World War I
Gas Masks were commonly known and used in World War I. They were used on people and dogs. When soldiers were told to go "over the top" they would wear gas masks to reach the enemy trenches. These gas masks were used to help prevent soldiers from breathing in toxic and harmful substances that were in the air. Overall, gas masks were important technology used in World War 1.
Browning Machine Gun- World War I
Browning Machine Guns were used very frequently in World War I. A variety of guns where used, including these machine guns. A machine gun is a weapon originally developed by an American with the name of Hiram Maxim. One of the most significant technological advance during World War I was the improvement of the machine gun. Overall, machine guns were very important to World War I.
Huge Seige Guns- World War I
Huge seige guns were used in World War I. These guns were used to smash other forts. These proved to be a huge success on the Eastern front. Overall, seige guns were an important development for World War I.
Deadly Gas- World War I
Deadly gas was a common thing in the trenches during World War I. Many soldiers would have to wear gas masks when going out of the trenches in order to prevent breathing in this deadly gas. The gas was used to wipe out the enemy without wasting too much ammunition. Overall, gas was an important part to World War I.
French, British, and German Battle Tanks- World War I
Battle tanks were an important part of World War I. The French produced far more battle tanks than any of the other countries during this war. Many of the first tanks were unreliable mechanically. Before World War I, tanks and war vehicles in general were not very common. The development of these tanks and their uses were important to World War I.
Metal Detectors- World War I
Metal detectors were very important to World War I. These detectors would be held to the ground by soldiers. They detected unexploded bombs. Metal detectors are an example of a very important development in technology during World War I.
Acoustic Mirror- World War I
Acoustics Mirrors were frequently used during World War I. An acoustic mirror is a passive device used to reflect and focus sound waves. They would pick up sounds from great distances. This allowed others to have time to react and adapt. Overall, Acoustic Mirrors were an example of technology that was important during World War I.
Railways- World War I
Railways were important to World War I. They began as serving the purpose of delivering Germany's mobilized army to where they were going to start. The railways made it more quick and possible for transporting the soldiers. Overall, railways were a very important technological development used in World War I.
Grenades- World War I
Grenades were very important to World War I. They proved to be a very effective weapon in the trenches. When the war first began, grenades weren't very common. As the war went on, grenades became more commonly used and for good reasons. Grenades were a very important development used in World War I.
Submarines- World War I
Submarines were an important technological development used in World War I. They were considered to be a serious weapon of war. Submarines could pose as an effective blockade. Soon they became part of the law of the sea. In conclusion, submarines were important to World War I.
