Analyze the impact the new weapons had on World War I.  Choose 3 of the following weapons (poison gas, submarines, airplanes, tanks and artillery shells) and explain how the weapon changed the strategy of warfare.  Create a Google Doc and share it with me explaining how it changed the strategy of warfare.
