This title examines the emergence of the first modern tank, the
Renault FT. It is a little known fact that France fielded more
tanks in World War I than any other army. However, France's early
tanks suffered from poor mobility and armor compared to their
contemporaries. Indeed, their initial use on the Chemin des Dames
in 1917 was a bloody fiasco. In spite of initial set-backs, the
French army redeemed its reputation with the Renault FT.
The Renault FT pioneered the modern tank design, with armament in a
revolutionary central turret and the engine in the rear. More
importantly, the Renault was designed to be cheap and easy to
manufacture. Discover the history of the early French armor
developments and their triumphant new design, the Renault FT, that
helped to turn the tide of war in the favor of the Allies.
