Although many considered World War I a tragedy, it would become an opportunity to learn about modern warfare with many concepts of strategical military tactics from that war being used again in various ways in World War II. However, many have confused the difference between tactics and strategies. A tactic, by definition, is the actual means of achieving an objective (Warfare). On the other hand, a strategy is the battle plans of a particular campaign (Warfare). There was only one real main tactic of warfare, of which came out of WWI. However,  the sub tactics of this would, later on, be developed further into the improved machines of WWII. This tactic was land fighting, in the form of trench warfare. This form of war was aided by the support of artillery, and machine guns (Warfare). The battles were mostly infantry assaults, with the aid of aircraft and chemical weapons (Warfare). Until later did the involvement of tanks come into play. Because of the trench warfare, there was not a lot of movement between the two sides, there was very little change, so the war was bogged down (Warfare). As a result, the stalemate in Europe from trench warfare gave neither side the ability to win the war, or leave their position (Warfare).

“The Allied Invasion of Gallipoli and its subsequent failure represented perhaps the greatest lost opportunity of the First World War (WWI)” (Shrier).

The loss of the 1915 invasion, actually significantly benefitted the allied powers in World War II (WWII) (Shrier). If the Allied Powers in WWI had been successful in Gallipoli, first it would rapidly change the whole course of the war, but maybe even the history to follow to the present day. Even more significantly, this would have changed the outcome of WWII, if this war would have occurred. It is a real “what if” question. What would have been different from then to the present day, if Gallipoli would have been a victory? The Invasion of Sicily, Invasion of Italy, and also even the Invasion of Normandy, might not have worked out so well. The planners behind these WWII battles, all in a degree had to have looked back on to this failure of WWI, as an example of how to fix a normal human eye read over. But, also one has to consider the sheer size and expansion of updated new machinery of WWI technology with a massive innovation and development stage into evolving the weapons into an even deadlier way of WWII technology. One could say that th
