Information: During World War I, the development of tanks was in its infancy, with both the Allies and the Germans experimenting with armoured vehicles to break the trench warfare stalemate. The British introduced the first tanks, such as the MK I, which had limited mobility and reliability but showcased the potential of armoured warfare. The Germans, developed the A7V, a large and cumbersome tank that saw limited use on the battlefield.

In World War II, tank development underwent significant advancements on both sides.

The British and Americans focused on creating more versatile and effective tanks. The British Matilda and Churchill tanks, known for their heavy armour, played crucial roles in various campaigns. The American M4 Sherman became one of the most widely used tanks of the war, with different variants for various roles. The British and Americans also embraced the concept of medium tanks that balanced mobility, armour, and firepower.

The Germans developed a series of innovative tanks. The Panzer III and Panzer IV were workhorses early in the war, but it was the introduction of the Panther and Tiger tanks that had a significant impact. The Panther combined mobility, firepower, and armour, while the Tiger was heavily armoured and armed with a powerful gun. These tanks posed considerable challenges to the Allies.
