Land Warfare

Land warfare during the Industrial Age (approximately 1850-1914) involves the use of advanced technologies and tactics in military conflicts on land. This era saw the introduction of railways, telegraphs, and industrially produced weapons like rifled guns and machine guns, greatly increasing the scale and lethality of battles. Armies became larger and more organized, with a focus on mass mobilization. The strategic importance of logistics, supply lines, and communication grew, while trench warfare emerged in World War I, highlighting the stark and brutal realities of modern combat. Overall, Industrial Age land warfare transformed how nations engaged in and experienced military conflict.
