airplanes and zeppelins were used during this war by putting bombs in this planes called zeppelins to attack other countries, from the germans. Whilst this is correct, the reason for use differs. Zeppelins were already in use by the German army at the outbreak of WW1. Initially the Germans looked to use seaplanes to attack England, until these were utilised on the Eastern front instead. Zeppelins could carry a higher payload of incendiary devices than the early planes. Zeppelinitus was already in play prior to the war and,by utilising them during the war, the Germans hoped to break down the British. With time, the frailities of the Zeppelins were exposed, being highly combustable as they used so much gas to be able to fly. The allies developed their planes to attack the Zeppelins with high success rates. The cost, in both lives and monetary terms, became too great to keep the zeppelins in the air and the Germans eventually turned to the infamous WW1 bomber, the Gotha.

How did zeppelin affect from World War 1?

The zeppelin was a German aircraft that was filled with helium, which was used to spy on opposing countries in the war as well as to drop bombs on later, however the zeppelin was found to be very impractical once airplanes obtained the technology to holster guns since they could easily be shot down. They weren't a major aspect of the war but it helped Germany later advance on to creation of new aircraft.
