How One Engineer's ‘Secret’ Invention Changed The Course To WW1

September 15, 1916—the Battle of the Somme is in full swing, and the Allied forces are desperately looking for a breakthrough. Trench warfare has reached a stalemate, with soldiers stuck in a deadly gridlock, exposed to machine gun fire, barbed wire, and artillery. But in the midst of this grim battle, a secret weapon emerges that will change the course of World War I forever: the tank.

This incredible invention, born from the mind of engineer Lancelot de Mole, was a strange, lumbering machine—slow, clunky, and almost comical in its design. But its potential was undeniable. The tank’s ability to crush through barbed wire, cross trenches, and absorb enemy fire marked the beginning of a new era in warfare.

In this video, we’ll explore how the first tank, the Mark I, was used during the Battle of the Somme, the challenges it faced, and the impact it had on breaking the deadlock of trench warfare. Learn how tanks—once seen as an absurd idea—became a game-changer on the battlefield and why they’re considered one of the most important innovations in military history.
