World War 1 saw the rise of new technologies that changed the nature of warfare, leading countries to develop more effective weapons and causing battles to be fought differently. Trench warfare exhausted soldiers, forcing them to adapt quickly to harsh conditions. German u-boats effectively sank British ships, threatening their naval power. Meanwhile, Germany had more advanced aircraft than Russia, demonstrating their air superiority. These new technologies, including machine guns, submarines, and airplanes, caused massive casualties and marked a shift to more modern warfare, establishing the basis for today's military technologies.
1. Technology World War one was considered modern warfare because it was a war where the country with the most effective technology won which led to mass inventions of effective technology and weapons which are the base of the weapons and technology we have today; the new technology led to a different environment of war and the way war was fought and the outcome of war changed completely.

2. Four weeks in the trenches Fritz Kreisler an Austrian officer who fought in trenches believes that soldiers are able to adapt to different environment and circumstance- s quickly due to exhaustion because trench warfare was tough for soldiers. U-9 Submarine Attack Otto Weddigen a German u-boat commander believes that the British were scared of German u-boats because it fired accurate torpedoes that won naval wars against the British and sunk their ship of supplies and soldierswhich threatened the welfare of the British navy. Air Warfare The Red Baron a Germany aircraft pilot believed that Germany was more industrialized than Russia because they had more planes and new technologies that proved them superior.
3. Conclusion World War One was a war that included many European countries which were pulled in because of the alliance system. Many new technologies which changed the way wars were fought were invented which had a large impact on the war. Machine guns caused wars to be fought in trenches. U-boats started American involvement, and made naval battle more aggressive. Airplanes were used in wars for the first time ever. These new technologies were much more effective and have caused massive deaths and destructions. These new technologies are the base of the technologies we have today which are more advanced for it has been improved. As you can see, technology played a significant role in World War 1.
