Why were World War 1 planes invented?

Planes were not invented for war, but used in war. When the Wright brothers flew the first plane in 1903 it wasn't thought of as a machine for war. At first it was seen as a novelty. Wing walkers and performers would do stunts with early planes and mail was delivered by plane. As with any technology eventually it may be used in war.
