A tank is a vehicle which is armoured to fight on the front-line. The British invented the tank during World War 1. They got the name tanks from when they were being shipped over to battles. They told people they were water tanks to cover up what they really were. The tanks did have many weaknesses as the British found this out when they first sent them into battle in 1916 as they were sending them into battle one got hit with a shell and was disabled, one broke down and three of the six tanks got bogged but two of them continued their journey towards the enemy lines. The British thought the tanks had been successful in one way this was that they had scared the Germans because they had been disabled straight away, but others were disappointed in their performance. So no they wernt successful in the war and didnt help to win World War 1!
