Origins of the TankThe first tanks in operational history took almost a year and a half of painful technical development and testing, strong will from a few promoters, administrative battles and support from the highest level to be born. The concept was developed in parallel in the United Kingdom and France. The latter had taken a slight advantage at first, but the former managed to produce and deploy their tanks faster. The British Mark V remains by far the best known visual icon of tanks in the First World War.
