The Mark I Tank was the first-ever tank used in combat, developed by the British during World War I. Introduced in 1916, it was designed to break through enemy trenches and barbed wire. The tank featured a rhomboid shape, allowing it to cross obstacles and rough terrain more effectively. Equipped with tracks instead of wheels, the Mark I could navigate muddy battlefields. It came in two versions: "Male," armed with cannons and machine guns, and "Female," which only had machine guns. Despite its limitations, the Mark I Tank marked a significant advancement in military technology and tactics.
