However, the invention of the Little Willie made it possible for modified vehicles to be built after it. Tanks are considered to have ended trench warfare; they were designed for front-line combat, instead of having men in the front lines unarmoured. Modern-day tanks are used by the United States Army for small missions to get the soldiers in and out back to safety as soon as possible. Today, modified versions of the Little Willie are used in war by various countries including the United States, Germany, and
