The British Mark I tank Male version was produced in 1916 during the Great War. It was one of the first tanks used in military history. The designation inMalein in the name meant that it was a variant of the tank equipped with a combination of cannons located in turrets on the sides of the vehicle and machine guns. The inFemalein versions of this type of tank were equipped with multiple machine guns only. The vehicle was powered by a gasoline engine that allowed it to travel at speeds up to 4 miles per hour. It was slow and bulky, but its armor provided some protection against enemy infantry small arms. The Mark I Male no C.19. tank was first used in combat in 1916 at the Battle of the Somme during World War I. Its main goal was to break through enemy fortifications, destroy barbed wire and support the infantry in capturing positions. Although it was not a perfect combat vehicle, its presence on the battlefield played an important role in the evolution of war strategy.
