Tanks were created by the British to move into the Non-man's land during World War I.
The "No-man's land" were the areas between the trenches, which were holes were the soldiers protected from bombs, were countries (in this case Germany and France) counterattacked each others. As none of them seamed to advance, new weapons were created.
First the Germans created the poisonous gas, which was somehow ineffective because the wind also returned the gas to their trenches, but oxygen masks were sonly created. Later on, the British found a way to go through the no-man's land without exposing their soldiers to dangerous situations. Certainly, the first tanks became a excellent way of pushing back the Germans, but soon the enemy found a way to destroy them with artillery fire as they got stuck at the middle of the no-man's land.
These first tanks were at a time useful but also imperfect; they were invented under struggle circumstances in a very short time, with almost no time for testing. But undoubtedly, this tanks that combined artillery weapons with bullet-proof armor in a moving vehicle became the initiative movement for other countries to create and redesign new tanks which have continued their modernizations until today.

Why were tanks useful in world war 2?
Tanks were very helpful to armed combat ground troops who needed the assistance of a huge machine which could sustain many hits, to push through enemy territory and destroy the enemy itself, without causing the death of many ground troops. The survivability rate for tanks was higher than ground troops because they were more heavily armored and had more powerful weapons.

Why weren't world war 1 tanks effective at creating a moving war?
The tanks in WW1 were not very strong. They overheated inside a lot so you could not stay in them for very long. The outside metal layer was very thin and you could shoot through it in the first models. The tanks were effective in some ways. During WW1 Trench warfare was popular, (Trench warfare was people would dig trenches and climb in and shoot at the other trench) and it made it easy for the Tanks to drive on top of the Trenches and squish everyone inside. (some early models were not heavy enough) I hope this helps!
