Detailed explanation-1: -British forces first used tanks during the Battle of the Somme in September 1916. They had a dramatic effect on German morale and proved effective in crossing trenches and wire entanglements, but they failed to break through the German lines.
Detailed explanation-2: -Tanks. Tanks were developed by the British Army as a mechanical solution to the trench warfare stalemate. They were first used on the Somme in September 1916, but they were mechanically unreliable and too few in number to secure a victory.
Detailed explanation-3: -For example, while tanks were more widely used on the Western Front, they did not necessarily have much of an impact on the other fronts of World War I. As well, the tank was originally introduced as a means of attempting to end the stalemate of the war.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Western Front, a 400-plus mile stretch of land weaving through France and Belgium from the Swiss border to the North Sea, was the decisive front during the First World War. Whichever side won there – either the Central Powers or the Entente – would be able to claim victory for their respective alliance.
