Yep, and some countries were ready to fight WWI again in 1939. "Infantry" tanks, meant to be mobile strongpoints, were to plod along with the ground pounders.
Don’t knock infantry tanks. The Churchill infantry tank was better protected than the Tiger I and the Panther, and provided good service through the Korean War.
