How did tanks change the way battles were fought?

The tank, which
was developed after its
predecessor, the armored truck, was meant to be able to cover rough
terrain
due to the trench warfare. Trench warfare involves the digging of trenches to make
it
hard for the enemy to advance, but with the development of crude versions
of the tank the trench
defense system became obsolete during the end of the
First World War and beginning of the Second
World War. Fundamentally the tank
was developed and employed to breach the enemys defense lines,
especially
during a stalemate. The tank changed warfare because it had the capacity to
withstand
bombardment, machine gun fire, and barbed fences. This reduced
injuries and fatalities to the
soldiers. Tanks were predominantly used to
lead and prepare the way for the infantry units and
provide cover for assault
operations. The tanks developed also helped in carrying surface to air

missiles to repel air attacks from the enemy, thus revolutionizing both land and
air
warfare.
