Welcome back!
If you've read our first 20th century snapshot about the advent of tanks, you just might be even more surprised this time. In World War I , tanks definitely changed the landscape of battlefield, but airplanes invented an entirely new battlefield. Just imagine, in centuries of warfare before 20th century, soldiers rarely had to fear anything except from enemy in front of them. The appearance of airplanes changed all that. In just a couple of years, technology allowed strategists to see the entire battlefield at once, attack enemies from above and project power at incredible distances.
