I.S. Blotch, a Polish banker and economist, once theorized that “war is shaped by civilization, and because at the end of the nineteenth century civilization had nearly passed out of its agricultural into its industrial phase, the character of war had changed with it.” After the Industrial Revolution, advancements in terms of militaristic technology were booming. World War I was the dawn of a new age of warfare; an age where technology would magnify its destructiveness.
