The war led to significant changes in warfare tactics from "summary" of The Pity Of War by Niall Ferguson

The war ushered in a new era of warfare tactics, forcing military strategists to adapt to the changing nature of combat. Gone were the days of traditional warfare, as new technologies and tactics emerged on the battlefield. The use of tanks, airplanes, and machine guns revolutionized warfare, leading to a shift in how battles were fought. One of the most significant changes in warfare tactics was the use of trench warfare. The static nature of trench warfare meant that soldiers were often stuck in one place for long periods, leading to a new emphasis on defensive strategies. This marked a departure from the more mobile style of warfare seen in previous conflicts. The war also saw the rise of new tactics such as chemical warfare. The use of poison gas on the battlefield had a devastating impact on soldiers, leading to widespread casualties and changing the way wars were fought. Military strategists had to develop new ways to protect against chemical attacks and mitigate their effects on troops. Another key development in warfare tactics was the increased use of artillery. Artillery barrages became a common sight on the battlefield, with both sides using heavy artillery to soften up enemy positions before launching infantry attacks. This tactic proved to be highly effective in breaking through enemy lines and gaining ground.

The use of new technologies, such as tanks and airplanes, along with the emergence of trench warfare and chemical weapons, led to significant changes in how wars were fought. These developments shaped the course of the conflict and left a lasting impact on the future of warfare.
