Galvanized Technological Advances

The massive magnitude and breadth of the First World War, which pitted the world's most powerful nations against each other, ushered in a slew of new scenarios and problems. As a result, the war ushered in a slew of Galvanized Technological Advances, both on and off the battlefield leading to it becoming one of the most major effects of World War I.

Machine guns, sophisticated artillery, and airplanes were all brought to the battlefield during World War I. Horses were quickly shown to be inefficient, and tanks were introduced into service in 1916. Chemistry research contributed to the development of the infamous poison gases and other chemical warfare weapons. In addition, weaponry and ammunition have advanced by leaps and bounds. Submarines, aircraft carriers, hydrophones, and depth charges were deployed in the seas, while aviation gained a lot of attention and expansion.

With millions of people injured or sick, medical and surgical innovations such as transportable X-Ray equipment, new medicinal medications, antiseptics, anesthetic, sun lights, and facial reconstruction surgery were produced. Many other everyday products, such as the wristwatch, sanitary pads, stainless steel, tea bags, paper napkins, zips, drones, and industrial fertilizer, were developed out of need while the globe went through a terrible period.
