Answer 1

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The creation of new weapons such as machine guns, artillery, gas, shotguns, new brutal melee weapons, flamethrowers, tanks, field guns, etc., made the battlefield more deadly than ever before. Casualty rates on the battlefield skyrocketed. Before, most deaths related to war were caused by infection or disease. In WWI and beyond, almost all deaths were on the battlefield.
