how was affected all over the world...during the ww1...
for example...where there a race for faster guns? or there were new weapons..and such...
 
Machine guns and new artillery turned war into trench warfare due to lack of air and tanks that could easily overrun a trench. Not really a race for faster guns, seeing as the machine gun made rushing a trench semi-suicide. The british created the first tanks during this war, and the German's were the first to use chemical warfare on a large scale (mustard gas). Planes were around, but they weren't like bombers, only fighters, and sometimes they would swoop down and throw grenades.
