Submarines (Were used in Port Arthur during Russo-Japanese War)
I don't get the attempt at humour in your title and didn't read much of your typing, but the glaring error in your history of submarine warfare warrants comment.
Submarines were used in the American Civil War prior to the Russo-Japanese conflict.
Nothing else to add to this ill-conceived thread.
Airplanes (Although the first use of aircraft in war was used by the Italians to drop bombs over the Greeks in 1911)

The first world war was the French-Indian war (or the 100 years war in Europe). It was literally fought all over the world. WWI is a misnomer.
Can you explain more. Why was it a continuation of the French-Indian war, you mean the one in the States?

Correction - The French and Indian War is also known as The Seven Years War, not The Hundred Years War.
The Hundred Years War was 1300s-1400s.

The Seven Years' War was a war that took place between 1754 and 1763 with the main conflict being in the seven-year period 1756–1763. It involved most of the great powers of the time and affected Europe, North America, Central America, the West African coast, India, and the Philippines. In the historiography of some countries, the war is alternatively named after combatants in the respective theatres: the French and Indian War as it is known in the United States or the War of the Conquest as it is known in French-speaking Canada, while it is called the Seven Years' War in English-speaking Canada (North America, 1754–63); Pomeranian War (with Sweden and Prussia, 1757–62); Third Carnatic War (on the Indian subcontinent, 1757–63); and Third Silesian War (with Prussia and Austria, 1756–63).
