The tank ended the use of trench warfare.

Explanation: Tanks were introduced to break the World War I stalemate by crossing trenches, crushing barbed wire, and supporting infantry assaults. While they didn't instantly eliminate trench fighting, their most important effect was to undermine the dominance of static trench defenses and help open breakthroughs late in the war.
