Match these World War 1 weapons or fighting styles with the correct description. (9)

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Trench Warfare		Fired hundreds of rounds per minute. Made traditional open-field charges deadly and nearly impossible. Impact: Forced armies into defensive positions, leading to trench warfare.
Airplanes		First used by Germans, later by both sides. Examples: chlorine gas, mustard gas. Caused blindness, burns, and suffocation. Impact: Created fear and suffering; led to the invention of gas masks.
Machine guns		First used by the British in 1916. Armored vehicles that could cross trenches and break through barbed wire. Slow and unreliable at first but improved over time. Impact: Helped break the stalemate of trench warfare.
Tanks		Used for spying, scouting enemy movements, and later for combat (“dogfights”). Eventually used to drop bombs and fire machine guns. Impact: Introduced a new dimension of warfare—fighting in the air.
poison gas		Soldiers dug long, deep trenches for protection. Life in trenches was harsh: mud, rats, disease, and constant danger. Battles often ended in stalemate with little land gained. Impact: War dragged on with heavy casualties and little movement.
