    The document discusses new military technologies developed during World War 1, including zeppelins, airplanes, machine guns, tanks, submarines, and poison gas. Zeppelins were originally used for reconnaissance but were later replaced by airplanes. Airplanes began carrying weapons to gain an advantage in aerial combat. Machine guns allowed for faster rates of fire compared to rifles. Tanks were invented to cross hostile terrain and break through enemy defenses. Submarines could launch stealth attacks on enemy ships. Poison gases like chlorine and mustard gas inflicted heavy casualties but also led to the development of gas masks. These new weapons increased lethality and changed the tactics of modern warfare.
