WWI (1914-1918) is perfectly timed with the invention of the tank We’ll sweep through what is a tank, its precursors, and WWI’s key models. Necessity is the mother of invention Tank catalyzed by the unique circumstances of WWI What’s a tank? A motorized, armored and armed vehicle with caterpillar treads. Precursors (da Vinci, Jan Žižka) https://www.warhistoryonline.com/instant-articles/hussite-war-wagon.html Da Vinci’s was in some sense a very elaborate doodle. Impractical. Wheels. Long overhang. Only one weapon fires in one direction. Defensive. Chinese in 119 BC and more famously Jan Zizka’s (Yan Zhishka) is more interesting, but was a dead end, which begs the question of why? Wheels need roads. Defensive weapon. Etc. Not as good as alternatives. Not necessary to have these armored wagons. Early attempts (massive casualties, trenches, rolling personal shields – too cumbersome and heavy w/ a rifle (limited firepower); armored cars) Holt tractors for artillery could go cross country Mother, Little Willie Mark I St. Chamond/Schneider Mark II-V A7V German behemoth Whippet Renault FT --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/historyinsound/support
