Artillery was used in ancient times for siege purposes, but not sure exactly when or where.
Some defense weapons used in World War 1 included machine guns, artillery, poison gas, and barbed wire. Machine guns such as the Maxim and Vickers guns were used to lay down a barrage of bullets on advancing enemy troops. Artillery, including large cannons and howitzers, were employed for long-range bombardment. Poison gas, such as chlorine and mustard gas, was used to incapacitate or kill soldiers. Barbed wire was used to create defensive obstacles and impede enemy advances.
In 1918 the Germans introduced an artillery piece that could shoot 75 miles. This was almost four times the range of the biggest guns in the war to that point. It was called the Paris Gun and part of its power was due to its extra long barrel. It was not that accurate for 75 miles, however, it was used to bombard Paris. It had a favorable psychological for the Germans, to compensate for its lack of accuracy.
The farthest reaching artillery piece used by the U.S. Army is the 155mm Howitzer. It has a maximum range of 30 kilometers.
All sides in WW1 used artillery.
