British heavy tanks were a series of related armoured fighting vehicles developed by the UK during the First World War. The Mark I was the world's first tank, a tracked, armed, and armoured vehicle, to enter combat. The name "tank" was initially a code name to maintain secrecy and disguise its true purpose by making it appear to be a water transport vehicle for bringing water to the troops at the front line. The tank was developed in 1915 to break the stalemate of trench warfare. It could survive the machine gun and small-arms fire in "No Man's Land", travel over difficult terrain, crush barbed wire, and cross trenches to assault fortified enemy positions with powerful armament. Tanks also carried supplies and troops.

  • I carri armati pesanti britannici erano una serie di mezzi corazzati sviluppati dal Regno Unito durante la prima guerra mondiale. Il Mark I è stato il primo carro armato al mondo, un veicolo cingolato, armato e corazzato, ad entrare in combattimento. Il nome "tank" era inizialmente un nome in codice per mantenere la segretezza e mascherare il suo vero scopo facendolo sembrare un veicolo per il trasporto d'acqua per le truppe in prima linea. Fu sviluppato nel 1915 per rompere lo stallo della guerra di trincea. La sua corazza è immune alle mitragliatrici e al fuoco delle armi leggere. Nella "Terra di nessuno" può viaggiare su terreni difficili, schiacciare il filo spinato e attraversare le trincee per attaccare posizioni nemiche fortificate con potenti armamenti. I carri armati trasportavano (it)
