Flamethrower
Types of Flamethrowers
|
The flamethrower was used in WW1. It was mostly used to set things to flames, and to project long streams of fire. This weapon was invented in 1914, by Germany. It was used throughout World War 1, but it wasn't mostly used for burning humans. Some say it was used to burning trenches, or buildings where the other country would be hiding for safety.

Impact of the Flamethrower
The war was greatly impacted on the invention of the Flamethrower. Germany had a great advantage to having this. They can burn down trenches, and burn down safety buildings of the country. This may of been an unfair advantage, but they invented it so they have the right to use it. |
Consequence of the Flamethrower
Other countries in WW1 had to fear the fact that Germany had a flamethrower. This caused many things to be burnt, and for safety places to disappear.

How it affected people
