Historical Description of the FT-17 Renault

The Renault FT-17 is a legendary French light tank, introduced into service during World War I and considered the first fully modern tank with a rotating turret. It was used by the armed forces of many nations, including France, Poland, Russia, the USA, and China from 1917 to 1945, mainly during World War I, the Polish-Soviet War, and later during World War II. It earned its reputation thanks to its simple design and the revolutionary arrangement with a rear drive and crew compartment at the front, which became the standard for most later armored vehicle designs.
