From the Paper:

"For the first time in history weapons reached technically superior heights.There were hand grenades, gases, aircraft and machine guns. These weapons had not been used in widespread capacities. Previously, the war strategies that various nations had developed were designed around more primitive methods of defensive and offensive actions. One of the most tried and true war strategies that had worked in the past had been a trench. The advent of fighter pilots and bomber aircraft was first supported during the Great War. It allowed pilots to fly low t the ground and dispense bullets at the rate of hundreds per minute. Servicemen on the ground and in the trenches had nowhere to go to escape the advanced technology."
