The tank had an interesting role in World War One and they were originally created by the British. The tank was first used at the little known Battle of Flers. The tank was created to be an answer to trench warfare in World War One. Troops could rise out of there trenches and follow behind the tanks. The tanks would lead the troops through the enemies barbed wire and shield the enemies from machine gun fire. The tanks in World War One were basically a moving fort, with machine guns on the side and protection for the soldiers. Tanks in World War One did not have as much gun fire as they do today but that is because they were built to get troops to the enemies base.
