Best Answer

Tanks were first deployed on a battlefield by the British Army on September 15, 1916, during the Battle of the Somme. However, due to a combination of their mechanical unreliability and piecemeal deployment, they were largely ineffective. The first time tanks were correctly used in battle, striking as a massed armored fist, was during the Battle of Cambrai, from November 20th to December 7th, 1917.
