Tanks
No, HG Wells did not invent the first tank. The first tank was invented during World War I by the British military. It was first used in combat in 1916. HG Wells did, however, popularize the concept of heavily armored vehicles in his science fiction novel "The Land Ironclads."
Two military vehicles first introduce in World War I were the armored tank and self-propelled artillery. Both greatly increased the number of people killed during the war and provided significant advantages to the countries who used them.
The British introduced the first tanks at the Battle of Flers-Courcelette (part of the Battle of the Somme). Many broke down, but nearly a third succeeded in breaking through.

During the Vietnam War there were three specifically designed and named "assault vehicles." 1. ASPB=Assault Support Patrol Boat, nicknamed the "Alpha Boat", US Navy. 2. M551 Sheridan Airborne Reconnaissance Assault Vehicle (lSheridan light tank), US Army. 3. M113 APC/ACAV (Armored Personnel Carrier/Armored Cavalry Assault Vehicle), US Army. The M113 & M551 were constructed of aluminum (minus gun/turret for the M551 which were steel); both vehicles were air transportable & both could swim across bodies of water. Both were fielded for the first time in the Vietnam war (1962 & 1969 respectively). Although all armored fighting vehicles are designed for fighting...the term "assault" is generally reserved for "close quarter combat" thus the M113 ACAV (not the APC version) & M551 where designed for close quarter combat (assault).
Every major combatant nation in WWII possessed armored (Tank) forces at the start of the conflict. The tank was first used in combat by the British Army in WWI during the 1916 Battle of The Somme.
The bazooka was first used during World War II by the United States Army in 1942. It was designed as a portable anti-tank weapon that fired rockets at enemy tanks and fortifications. The bazooka played a significant role in providing infantry units with a means to effectively combat armored vehicles on the battlefield.
The first people in the world to use wheeled vehicles were the Sumerians. They were used for trade, which was central to Mesopotamian life.
