The First Tanks in History – How the Battle of the Somme Changed Warfare Forever

In 1916, during the brutal Battle of the Somme, the world witnessed something that would change warfare forever — the first appearance of tanks. The British Mark I, weighing over 28 tons and crawling at just 3 miles per hour, was introduced to break the stalemate of trench warfare.

These armored giants could crush barbed wire, cross trenches, and terrify enemy soldiers who had never seen anything like them before. While many broke down or got stuck in the mud, the psychological impact was massive, and the age of armored warfare had begun.

Discover how these clunky, unreliable machines transformed into the modern tanks that dominate battlefields today.
