World War I howitzers were artillery pieces designed to fire shells at high angles. They featured a shorter barrel compared to traditional cannons, allowing for greater elevation and the ability to hit targets behind cover, such as trenches and fortifications. Howitzers used a variety of ammunition types, including explosive shells and shrapnel, and were often towed by horses or trucks. Their versatility and range made them crucial for both offensive and defensive operations during the war.
