Best Answer

Machine guns, tanks, U-boats, guns mounted on airplanes, etc., were the new weapons that threatened those in combat. These weapons made soldiers in war ten times more prone to death then the old-fashioned weapons such as shotguns, bayonets, grenades, and gas.

What began with the introduction of the tank and airplane as weapons?

Both the tank and the airplane were both first used in a military context during World War I (1914-18). Aircraft combat began shortly after the war started in 1914, but didn't become a serious affair until mid-1915, when effective mountings of forward-firing machine guns enabled the creation of the first "fighter" aircraft.Likewise, the tank was first introduced at the Battle of the Somme in 1916.Thus, no war actually began with the first introduction of tanks and aircraft.Some people would claim that the concept of mechanized warfare began with introduction of the tank and aircraft. In my opinion, however, this is incorrect, for several reasons:Mechanized Warfare, while benefiting from aircraft, does not require them. Mechanized warfare is a land-based strategy.Tanks are NOT sufficient for Mechanized Warfare - a significant motorized (or mechanized) infantry capacity is also required, as is a completely motorized logistical supply chain.The tactics involved with Mechanized Warfare and the overall strategy to employ those tactics requires certain minimum technological capabilities of equipment, none of which were present during WW1.The actual theory of mobile armored warfare was not developed until after World War 1, and frankly wasn't even remotely usable in terms of practical application of available machinery and more mature tactics until the early 1930s.Thus, while having tanks is certainly a prerequisite to developing mechanized warfare strategy, it is not sufficient. And, aircraft are orthogonal to mechanized warfare.meachanized warfare
