What was so revolutionary about dreadnoughts?

Post Body

Most of the descriptions of dreadnoughts gloss over what actually distinguished them so thoroughly from older types of battleships, or just say they were more heavily armed and armored than their predecessors. They also mention something called an "all big-gun" arrangement, but I'm unclear on what that is.

So what distinguished dreadnoughts from previous efforts at adding more guns and armor to battleships?
