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.

Tanks were developed to replace horses in battle primarily due to their ability to traverse difficult terrain and provide armored protection for soldiers.

Additionally, tanks could break through enemy lines and fortifications, overcoming the static nature of trench warfare that characterized World War I.
