Industrial Age Warfare

Industrial Age Warfare refers to the period from the late 19th century to the early 20th century, characterized by the use of advanced technology and mass production in military conflicts. This era saw innovations like machine guns, artillery, and railroads, significantly changing how wars were fought. Armies became larger and more organized, allowing nations to mobilize quickly and sustain prolonged conflicts. Major examples include World War I, where trench warfare and industrialized tactics led to unprecedented casualties. The integration of industrial processes transformed not only the scale and strategy of warfare but also the social and economic aspects of societies involved in war.
