World War I technologies

In 1915, British Admiral Jackie Fisher wrote: "The war will be won by inventions." And he was right: technology did have a decisive effect on the outcome of the war. It was at that time that tanks, zeppelin, poison gas, an airplane, a submarine and a machine gun appeared. In World War I, the Germans fired at Paris with cannons with a range of 100 km; London was first bombarded from the air by zeppelin. And this is not all the innovations of that time.
