If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: <nowiki>https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History</nowiki>) and add a link to it here using the <code>main</code> template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <code><nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki></code>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code>.''

-The '''Hotchkiss Modèle 1914''' machine gun, developed from earlier models reaching back to 1889, saw widespread use during World War I, primarily with the French Army. In naval service, it was adopted by the French Marine Nationale during the interwar period, where its most common use was on the twin Modèle 1926 mounts for ship's anti-air. Although it was eventually replaced by the more advanced Hotchkiss Mle 1929, the Mle 1914 returned to service during World War II to compensate for slow production of a newer guns, such as the 7.5 mm Darne which eventually replaced it.
