The major issue in that regard was that Wegener did not have a plausible mechanism by which continents might move.
Alfred Wegener.
because they didn't have the proper technology to prove it.
truth is he couldn't prove it he tryed to show the scientists that the continents could have drifted but the scientists did NOT believe him

The ascertations that Alfred Wegener posed with his Continental Drift theory pre-dated the technology necessary to prove his vision. In 1968 the new science of plate tectonics supported Wegener's theory.

Because there wasn't pretty much he could use to prove that. When he was asked what was the force that moved the continents, he said it was the tide. Nobody believed him, although he had many statements to prove it existed.

He didn't. Evidence which points to continental drift was discovered later, after he died.
Actually, no. "Pangaea" was found by Alfred Wegener through the fossils of animals found in different continents.
