With the first war tank originating in England, this thick armored vehicle had started to emerge as a huge asset to the Allied Forces in World War 2. This new form of military technology was vital during the war to help them achieve victory. Throughout the war, these reliable tanks had been mass-produced in large numbers to out beat their opponent. World War One was influenced heavily by tanks due to their effectiveness in relation to soldier count, reliability, and spanability that led to their introduction in World War Two and success. They changed heavily from World War One into World War Two as generals saw the success that was coming out of the tanks.

Another aspect in World War One is that they were mainly used to gain trench control. The tanks would sit atop the trenches and scare all enemy soldiers away. In World War Two however, technologies got more advanced and the Germans installed turret gun styled machines in the tanks. This was very useful as it acted like a soldier who could not be shot at. The tanks would take a lot to be destroyed, therefore the turrets would be allowed to fire forever. Also included were big explosive rounds on the front of the tank. These allowed tank fights to happen quickly as whoever hit the critical shots on the tanks would win the battle. Though it would take a long time to
