What weapons did they use in world war 1 ?
Mostly it was rifles, machine guns, artillery and gas/chemicals. Of course the Canadians were in the war from the beginning as part of the Commonwealth Forces under the British and had access to all the same weapons that were being used by the British. Whereas the Americans entered at the end. In fact it was only the sheer numbers added by the Americans more than anything else which caused the Germans to call for an armistice (cease fire/surrender) as they were already suffering from an extreme lack of resources. There were indeed tanks but they simply were not used properly. When they were introduced onto the battlefield the British (who suffered greatly due to being fierce traditionalists) decided they should be used as a stand-alone weapon rather than with infantry support. This failed. By the time they had figured out the optimum deployment method for tanks the Germans had figured out how to better defend against them and had also manufactured their own. It did not help either that
