The tank was useful in WWI, much more so in WWII of course, but none-the-less, it did make some important movements possible. The most important battle for the tank was at Cambrai, though there were plenty of other actions since it's debut at the Somme. The tank in WWI was used primarily as an infantry support weapon rather than as a combat arm of decision as happened in WWII.
