Operational Changes of the First World War

Abstract

In my study I summarise the major changes of the martial arts in the First World War, with an emphasis on the  emergence of new types of weapons and the gathering of 
lessons to be learned. The years of the First World War were marked by the immobility and motionless trench  warfare not taking into account the short moving war of 1914. The rapid economic development of the Western  powers and the growth of the population made it possible  to use the modern technology. This led to the unfolding of  the material war. The success of the Triple Alliance is mainly  due to the usage of tanks and planes. On the  German side the direct cause of the capitulation is primarily the collapse and exhaustion of the support of the hinterland and society.
