Thanks in part to man's technological gains from the industrial revolution, weapons are now being produced that make an offensive war absolute

( Weapons are now being produced to counter Trench Warfare. The idea is to keep a strong defensive while creating weapons to at least try an offensive.

The correct answer is B) The destructive technology meant more casualties of war.

Technology made WWI different from previous conflicts in that "The destructive technology meant more casualties of war."

Technology applied to the fabriu¿cation of weapons to be used in World War 1, produce lethal weaponry that killed millions of people and produce destruction never before seen in other wars. We are talking about better machine guns, more powerful tanks, artillery, better grenades, and the use of submarines. The poison gas also created so much damage during the conflict.
