World War I was at a point where it was an utter stalemate, and both sides were locked in a war of attrition - letting casualties amass in the hopes that they could kill off enough members of the enemy's side to force their capitulation. Realising that this strategy was not going to bring on any quick victory, it was decided that a vehicle which could resist small arms fire and penetrate enemy lines was needed to break the stalemate.
The word "Tank" came about because the British, wanting to keep the development secret, they were designated as water carriers and referred to as "tanks" (as in "water tank")
