The '''Mark I''' was the world's first tank, designed by the [[British]] to break the deadlock of trench warfare in [[World War I]]. In February 1915, the First Lord of the Admiralty, [[Winston Churchill]] created the "Landships Committee" to investigate a mechanical solution combining firepower, protection and mobiility to the stalemate of trench warfare. The first successful prototype, known as "Mother", completed secret trials in early 1916, and the new Mark I tank was used in battle for the first time at Flers-Courcelette, [[France]] on September 15 1916.
