Draft
Technology influenced World War I by expanding the types of weapons; which impacted the outcome of the war. The technology really expanded to be a big part of the war.

The Machine guns shot many bullets at once so there was a higher kill rate. "In 1915 British Admiral Jacky Fisher wrote, The war is going to be won by inventions.” "At the beginning of the war the Vickers was the British army's standard machine gun. The Vickers was a modified version of the Maxim Machine gun. Using a 250 round fabric belt magazine, firing over 600 rounds per minute and a range of over 4,500 yards it earned a reputation of being a highly reliable weapon." " Technologically, great strides had been made in just about every area that might come into play during war. But the costs had been dear, and the end only temporary. Deaths from “The Great War” have been estimated at 10,000,000, and the end of the war itself, the Treaty of Versailles and its humiliating terms for Germany, laid the groundwork for World War II. The war was called “the war to end all wars,” and at the time that seemed possible. Unfortunately, it would prove untrue in less then a generation."

Tanks could only move at a speed of 4 mph they could not go after any of the other enemies."Germany began experimenting with flame-throwers in 1900. These powerful weapons used pressurized air, carbon dioxide, or nitrogen to push oil through the nozzle. The oil was ignited by a small charge and became a jet of flame. These machines were mainly used to clear enemy soldiers from their front line trenches. They first had a range of 25 meters, but were later increased to 40 meters." The advance in technology increased in the number of deaths and injuries because these weapons were so much stronger and could shoot many more bullets at one time. The technology during the war was so advances that whoever had the better technology would have a better chance of winning the war. The countries with the best technology were the European countries , they had some of the best new tanks and the best new guns to fire faster and harder.

Technology was very important during the war and decided who won."The winners were the ALLIED nations which included Belgium, France (and its empire), the UK (and empire; australia, newzealand, india, canada, New foundland and south africa aswell as some smaller states),cjapan, Italy (by the end), the Russian Empire (who had surrendered early but had held their own for a while), portugal and the US, who helped out more economicaly than physicaly." These countries had the best technology therfore they won the war.

During the war the technology was what possibly the deciding factor of the war. This war was the new beginning of technology advancment in weapons and radios. This war will go down is technology history.
