Tank Encyclopedia®: The destination for tank enthusiasts since 2014

Tank Encyclopedia is the place to learn about the history of armored vehicles,
from their early inspirations and pioneers to the latest main battle tanks. Our
painstakingly researched articles cover many nations and all eras of armor
development, accompanied by our beautiful and iconic illustrations. We cover a
wide swathe of armored vehicle designs ranging from bridge-layers and
engineering vehicles, to tank destroyers and armored personnel carriers. You can
also find articles on soft-skinned vehicles, anti-tank weaponry, tactics,
battles, and technology.
Tank Encyclopedia continues to be a work-in-progress largely carried out by
volunteers. As a reader, you can help to improve our site. If you spot something
wrong, please let us know. If you feel something is missing, please add it to
our Public Suggestion List. And please, support us!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


THE FOUR ERAS WE COVER:

WW1 – Mud, Barbed Wire, and Trenches: The United Kingdom and France started
development of tanks in order to break through enemy lines. However, many
pioneers had envisioned the use of armored vehicles in the decades prior to the
Great War. Soon after its introduction, the tank quickly became a killing
machine integrated into combined arms operations.

WW2 – The Tank Goes Global: The Interwar period saw the tank go on a worldwide
tour, from Bolivia to China, every corner of the globe and all seven continents
felt the tread of heavy armor. Even so, many were unconvinced by this new weapon
of war. World War Two would change these perceptions, and see tanks used in
unprecedented numbers across all theaters of war.

Cold War – East vs West: In a period dominated by nuclear weapons, two opposing
superpowers led to the splitting of the world into East and West. Although the
USA and USSR never fought each other directly, almost all proxy wars of the
period saw extensive usage of their tanks.

Modern Era – Are Tanks Still Relevant?: Despite numerous prophets heralding the
demise of the tank, armor is still an important part of all the world’s
militaries. The modern battlefield shows no signs of this changing soon, with
the development of tanks continuing to adapt to it.
