World war 1 had Trench Warfare and World war 2 didn't really have that, thus World War 2 was much more mobile. WW1 used chemical weapons, which WW2 didn't, mainly because Hiltler banned their use after he had experienced the terrible effects of gas when he served on The Western Front in WW1. WW2 involved much more air combat, while WW1 involved planes used primarily for recon purposes.
Trench warfare. Chemical ware fare. in the case of WW1 the use of chlorine gas or mustard gas as it was called. It was so terrible that more then 50 years after ww1 vets were still being treated for the results. Additionally, WW1 saw the advent of the machine gun used in open warfare. Due to the technology lag between tactics and technology, the commanders of both sides failed to implement tactics to reduce casualties. Thus often seen were human wave type tactic attacks against fortified positions with entrenched machine guns, resulting in thousands of deaths.
