A peaceful invention that has become an infantry nightmare. Barbed wire. History of creation.

Barbed wire is a wire or a narrow strip of metal (tape), with sharp spikes located on it, used for the construction of simple and inexpensive barriers, as well as to improve the properties of existing ones. A person or animal trying to pass through a barbed wire fence will experience painful sensations or may get wounded. Barbed wire fencing requires only supports and the wire itself. It can be quickly installed even by a low-skilled worker. Barbed wire was the first successful fence capable of stopping cattle. Wire fencing was cheap, and when it became widely available in the late 19th century in the United States, especially in Texas, it became possible to fence much larger areas than before. This gave a huge impetus to the development of animal husbandry.
