1 Answer
2 changes: Tanks, Aircraft.
2 continuities: magazine rifle, Fortifications.
Explanation:
2 big changes were armored fighting vehicles and aircraft really changed warfare in the time period.
From beginning to end most soldiers were issued with a bolt action rifle for personal defense. There were variations like the American semi-automatic Garand and the assault rifle began to appear near the end.
Fortifications played an important part of Warfare in the era. Most significantly in World War 1 but the Germans used fortified lines till nearly the end of World War 2 when things became too fluid. The Germans flanking of the Maginot line supposedly showed the obsolete nature fixed defenses but the Germans invested heavily in them later in the war including reoccupying parts of the Maginot defenses when it suited them.
Maginot line battle damage caused by American fire on Germans occupying the old fortifications in 1945.
Its worth visiting France to see the Maginot line fortifications and World War 1 sights nearby.
