A Game Changer
During WWI, much of Western Europe was reduced to a massive battlefield
criss-crossed by a seemingly unending network of trenches.
The original British Mk.I tank was developed to break the deadlock; the
Mk.IV was a later model based on many of the same design principle,
and of which around 1,000 were produced starting in March 1917.
A "Male" variant was developed to smash through enemy lines and in
addition to machine guns it utilized large 6-pounder guns,
in contrast to the separate Female variant equipped with only machine
guns for armament.
The Mk.IV saw a variety of action, including a mass deployment of around
400 at the Battle of Cambrai in November 1917,
additionally prevailing in the world's first tank on tank battle with
the German A7V in April 1918. |
