Hats and helmets have been worn by the military for thousands of years. It would be difficult to tell the history for the all types and countries. Helmets were worn by Japanese Samauri as well as Knights in Europe. In the 17th Century, European armies developed tall leather hats called Shakos. Later, armies made the hat shorter and the skull cap or Pickelhaulbe became popular. Some had metal spikes on top. In WW1, the casualty rates were very high so they designed metal helmets to provide better protection.
