Answer:
Industrial technology became a real headache for the initial phases of World War I, for Germany, and especially for their military strategy, because of the amount of advanced weaponry that the Allied enemies had, and with which they were able to hold back the Germans´ initial attack. However, this changed as the war progressed, especially due to the perseverence and fast tacticts of the German generals, and soldiers, who later on acquired some important landmarks where there were a lot of industrial compunds and factories, and thus also acquired the necessary weaponry, to push back against Britain and France. In fact, at the beginning of 1914, when Germany began to attack France swiftly, the only thing that saved France from being totally invaded, was the weaponry the French had, and which gave them a little bit of an edge over the Germans, and the persistence of the French soldiers.
