Shooting the badguys from a long distance with great accrucy.
The large naval artillery could fire a round 23 miles. The army and coastal artillery could fire about that far. Field Artillery were not as large and had a shorter range. Modern artillery has used rocket assisted artillery shells but I'm not sure of the range of those.
Yes. Everybody with enough money and technology used artillery.
Artillery was used in ancient times for siege purposes, but not sure exactly when or where.
No, rockets were not commonly used in World War 1. The main forms of artillery used during the war were cannons, mortars, and grenades.
Some defense weapons used in World War 1 included machine guns, artillery, poison gas, and barbed wire. Machine guns such as the Maxim and Vickers guns were used to lay down a barrage of bullets on advancing enemy troops. Artillery, including large cannons and howitzers, were employed for long-range bombardment. Poison gas, such as chlorine and mustard gas, was used to incapacitate or kill soldiers. Barbed wire was used to create defensive obstacles and impede enemy advances.
Long-range artillery played a significant role in several key battles during World War I, including the Battle of the Somme, the Battle of Verdun, and the Battle of Ypres. Artillery, such as the German Big Bertha and French 75mm guns, was used to bombard enemy positions, destroy fortifications, and support infantry assaults. The devastating impact of long-range artillery contributed to the high casualty rates and trench warfare tactics that characterized the conflict. Its effectiveness marked a shift in military strategy, emphasizing the importance of heavy artillery in modern warfare.
The farthest reaching artillery piece used by the U.S. Army is the 155mm Howitzer. It has a maximum range of 30 kilometers.
All sides in WW1 used artillery.

Artillery in WW1 was used in Battery or even larger formations.
Big Bertha was a super-heavy artillery piece developed by Germany during World War I, but its name is sometimes associated with similar heavy artillery used in World War II. The term refers to massive siege guns designed for long-range bombardment. In WWII, the Germans utilized large-caliber artillery pieces, including the "Dora" and other railway guns, to target fortifications and cities, demonstrating the destructive power of heavy artillery in warfare. However, the original Big Bertha itself was not actively used in WWII.
They had long range jet fueled rockets made by Germany, the prototype to modern rockets and missiles, they also had afew artillery pieces such as the screaming memies. And Stalin's organ that used small missiles
