What did tanks replace in battle?
Tanks were invented in WWI and they were designed to breach entrenched positions. Before the invention of tanks there was nothing that could fill this role. In a more strategic sense, they offered some of the same advantages that cavalry traditionally provided. Although the first tanks were slow, they soon became fast compared to a foot soldier. This combination of speed and power allowed them to punch a hole in the enemy's defenses and continue attacking.

Why were tanks used in World War One?
They were an attempt to break the trench deadlock. There were no weapons to properly counter them at the time, but the tanks were constantly breaking down, and they were also very slow. Although tanks in World War 1 proved they could open a breach in the enemy's line, they were too slow and unreliable to carry through with an attack after the breach had been opened. WW 1 tanks were used to break the stalemate of trench warfare. Their success at doing so was limited. -answered by some guy
