Detailed explanation-1: -On the battlefield, American forces fought using airplanes, long-range artillery, gas, motorized ambulances, mobile X-ray equipment, wireless radio, and other modern tools of war.

This weapon, along with barbed wire and mines, made movement across open land both difficult and dangerous. Thus trench warfare was born.
