What made tanks effective in World War 1?
Tanks in World War 1 may have reduced Allied casualties. Germany built only a few tanks of poor quality, while Great Britain and France built thousands. Tanks were in their infancy and not properly used in World War 1. More British tanks were lost to breakdown than to enemy fire. They were captured by the Germans and used until they broke down and were recaptured, and then they were captured again. The French Renault Ft 17 was the best tank of the war, and it was also used by the US Army during and after the war, but in World War 1 the tank was not a decisive weapon, and the Allies would have won the war without it simply because they had more men and more materiel. Tanks were used in small wars in the 1920's and 30's, but they did not have a great effect until World War 2.
