No, the Tank, a British invention, first appeared on the western front in 1916. Slow, noisy & very cumbersome, they were at first invincible, if only because no one had invented the anti-tank gun ! The tank as we know it, including the name "tank" was indeed a British invention, but there are historical precursors, most notably a vehicle conceived by Leonardo da vinci in the 1500's.
