New- Poison gas, tanks, airplanes
Improved- Machine guns, artillery, submarines, dirigibles, and small arms.
The tank
World War 1 introduced aerial warfare with airplanes and trench warfare

It was during WW1 that airplanes and tanks were introduce in warfare.
The machine gun changed warfare
In World War 2 the Germans introduced the V2 rocket, a terrifying new offensive weapon. In WW1 poison gas was considered the most terrifying weapon.
Machine GunsTanks
Mustard Gas was introduced into warfare in September of 1917.
The tank is the obvious answer here, but did you know that the first armored personnel carrier (callled the Pig) was also introduced in WW1? Truck transport, artillery tractors, and armored cars were introduced in the early 1900's before the war.

Trench warfare was one of the new forms of warfare introduced during World War 1. Another new form of warfare was chemical warfare.

The machine gun changed warfare
During World War Two, the first mechanized warfare was used in fighting. This was in the form of tanks and airplanes.
Both the tank and the airplane were both first used in a military context during World War I (1914-18). Aircraft combat began shortly after the war started in 1914, but didn't become a serious affair until mid-1915, when effective mountings of forward-firing machine guns enabled the creation of the first "fighter" aircraft.Likewise, the tank was first introduced at the Battle of the Somme in 1916.Thus, no war actually began with the first introduction of tanks and aircraft.Some people would claim that the concept of mechanized warfare began with introduction of the tank and aircraft. In my opinion, however, this is incorrect, for several reasons:Mechanized Warfare, while benefiting from aircraft, does not require them. Mechanized warfare is a land-based strategy.Tanks are NOT sufficient for Mechanized Warfare - a significant motorized (or mechanized) infantry capacity is also required, as is a completely motorized logistical supply chain.The tactics involved with Mechanized Warfare and the overall strategy to employ those tactics requires certain minimum technological capabilities of equipment, none of which were present during WW1.The actual theory of mobile armored warfare was not developed until after World War 1, and frankly wasn't even remotely usable in terms of practical application of available machinery and more mature tactics until the early 1930s.Thus, while having tanks is certainly a prerequisite to developing mechanized warfare strategy, it is not sufficient. And, aircraft are orthogonal to mechanized warfare.meachanized warfare
