Detailed Solution

The First World War involved the world's leading industrial nations, which used modern industrial power to inflict the greatest possible destruction on their adversaries. Millions of soldiers from all over the world had to be recruited and transported to the frontlines on large ships and trains.

Britain borrowed large sums of money from both US banks and the American public. As a result of the war, the United States went from being an international debtor to an international creditor. There was no use of robots and satellites in the war.
Thus, the Assertion is true, but the Reason is false.
