The unique history of the FT-17 tank

The Renault FT-17 is a light tank introduced by the French army at the end of World War I (1917). It was the first tank with a fully rotating turret, setting a new standard in armored vehicle design. Outside of France, the FT-17 served, among others, in the Polish Army during the Polish–Soviet War and the September Campaign of 1939. Its simplicity, reliability, and revolutionary design meant that it was used by more than twenty countries and secured its place in the history of armored warfare.
