adaptable and superior tank accelerated, which put pressure on all the participating nations: Germany, Russia, the United States, and Great Britain. To compete against German tanks, the British government ordered engineers to design an adaptable tank in 1943. The engineers’ goal would be to design a far superior tank compared to the German counterparts; however, this project did not reach completion until the end of the war in 1945 (Ware 36). This tank design became known as the Centurion tank. Even though World War II ended, the Centurion eventually demonstrated its worth in various subsequent wars and proved to be a valuable asset in the arms race between NATO and the Soviet…

Tanks were at the beginning was a tractor that carried men artillery and supplies. Tanks were designed as infantry support, because back in those days the men in charge sent in mass groups of men and hoped for the best, because the way men had to travel was on foot over mountains, through desserts, through muddy terrain, over rocks, through towns, and over debris. The first tank was designed by William Tritton and Major William Tritton and they named it “Little Willy” it ran on two caterpillar…

Tanks have been around since the beginning of World War I, and throughout time, there have been many changes and improvements to them. The first tank was a British Mark 1 Tank. This tank needed eight people to run it and weighed 28 tons (History). The newest tank is the Russian T-14 Armata. To run this tank, you only need 3 people and it weighs 48 tons (T-14 Armata). As you can tell, there have been huge improvements, but along the way, two tanks played a very important role in American…

WW2 Tanks and Ground Warfare By Max Brand Tanks, artillery and small arms all played major roles for both the Allies and the Axis in the land warfare of World War II. Tanks created a new way of fighting and evolved throughout the war. Tanks were heavily armored and powerful turret machine guns were mounted on the top. The Soviet tank – T-34 – was one of the most impressive tank of WW2. It had an excellent basic design that survived the war with only one major change in armament, (76.2-mm to…

of German tanks during WWII. The Treaty of Versailles forbade Germany from using or producing tanks. Against this, Hitler began building up his ranks of tanks in 1933. From 1933-1937, The Panzer I through IV were developed. The Panzer I was initially meant as a training vehicle for later Panzer models. It was fairly lightly armed and armoured. On its turret were two 7.92-mm guns rather than a cannon. It had light 15-mm armor and weighed 5.4 tons. It drove at a top speed of 24 mph (39 kph). The…

Military Innovation Response Draft Israel and the United States have common (word) regarding how some of the country’s greatest innovation has started from the military. The tour through the US Army Heritage and Education Center relayed the ideas and concepts about how the innovation in private sectors was originally derived from military or government funded projects such as the M4 Sherman Tank and the minicomputer. However, they are not identical in the aspect that when a war arises and the…

mammal’s environment lead Pounder and his colleagues to investigate if doing so would be just as beneficial to captive fish. Fish are a hugely exploited research model as millions of tons of fish are farmed across the UK. Despite the massive commercial production occurring, inadequate research has been done on improving fish welfare in stressful situations. The large growth of the aquaculture industry should be synonymous with research about how to remedy production problems and facilitate…

In this essay, I will be questioning whether the film ‘The Battle of the Somme’ provides a realistic picture of life in the trenches during the First World War. The Battle of the Somme, that had been fought in northern France, was one of the most violent battles that had taken place during the First World War. It had lasted five months while the British and French fought the Germans on a 15- mile front. The purpose of this battle was to hopefully alleviate the French who had been fighting at…

dominated the war throughout the years were the tank. Tanks had more firepower in the form of machine guns, then the cannon, to provide supporting fire for attacking troops. Tanks were the strongest weapon in the war. Tanks first showed in the Battle of Flers-Courcelette in 1916. Armored vehicles such as tanks started to build before World War I. When the war started, all of the country’s started to improve their armored vehicles for the war. Introducing tanks in the war was the best idea to…

July 28, 1914 was the start of many things, the war started, alliances were formed, and technology bloomed. Tanks, Poison Gas, and Machine Guns were ground advancements technology created around 1914-1916. The machine guns could shoot 400-600 rounds a minute, the tanks could carry a large-calibre cannon, and the poison gas would cause vomiting, irritation to the eye, and severe coughing. These tools made a big impact on the war One of the three major technology created for the war were tanks. A…
