About the same difference between World War 2 and World War 1. The warplane and the tank were first used in World War 1, but armies were unable to move fast enough for long enough to exploit the break in the enemy line. This situation was rectified early in World War 2, and it kept the Gulf War from becoming a replay of World War 1. The new emphasis was on rapid mobility and attack rather than static defense. Also, World War 1 was the only war in which chemical warfare was legally used. There was concern that Hussein might use it on the Gulf Coalition as he had done earlier against the Kurds and Shiites in Iraq. As in World War 2, both sides in the Gulf War had the ability to wage chemical warfare, and yet it was not used.
