Ben's report on War

War
War is an armed conflict that happens between different countries or groups. One of the most talked about wars was WW1. In August 1914 was one of the most eventful month of the war it was this month that the powerful European nations started attacking one another setting panic waves across the continent.
The idea of an armoured vehicle to repel machine gun fire was first conceived by Colonel Swinton and Colonel Maurice Hankey. In 1914 Swinton had described it as a petrol tractor on the caterpillar principle and armoured with hardened steel plates. Swinton he died on January 4, 1914  just a few months before World War 1 started.
WW1 ended on the 11th of November 1918, when Germany signed an armistice with the Allies.
