Historical background of the vehicle

The Renault FT-17 is one of the most recognizable and influential tanks in history, which revolutionized the concept of armored vehicles. It was used as standard by France during World War I and in the post-war and interwar periods during the modernization of the armies of many countries worldwide. The FT-17 is counted among the first tanks with a rotating turret, which defined the development of armored vehicles for decades to come. The FT-17 model was intensively used during the 1918 offensive and, after the war, in other conflicts. It was part of the equipment of the French army as well as, among others, Poland, the United States, China, and the USSR.
