Heavy machine guns made open field troop manoeuvres a massacre, resulting in trench warfare as the machine guns put favour on defence.

Aircraft provided reconnaissance, and some minor troop harassment on the battlefield. Plus they introduced strategic bombing to warfare.

Artillery developments increased the accuracy and rate of fire of artillery. Also, techniques for detection made counter battery fire much more dangerous.

And of course the development of the tank completely change warfare forever. It allowed support weapons to be used in the attack again, countering the trench system.

And advances in submarines meant they could actually be used as effective weapons.
