Military Technology In World War One

World War 1(WW1) introduced many different types of machinery and weaponry to the world. It was known to be the greatest enhancements technological warfare. It introduced many different types of machinery and weaponry to the world. Some examples would include the first models of tanks, machine guns, airplanes and aircraft carriers(History 1). As the war progressed in years, the weapons and machines got substantially better. These improvements contributed and influenced modern war tactics which in the end, results in an overall more deadlier war.

World War I, otherwise known as The Great War, is considered by many as the first modern war. Poison gas, heavy artillery, armored tanks, mortars, ground breaking military guns, advancement in war machinery, and shell bombardments were all newly utilized weapons that caused mass destruction that was never seen before at the time. However, a lot of deaths and conflict occurred in the man-made trenches. Both strenuous and unproductive, living and fighting in the trenches cost soldiers who endured them both severe physical and psychological injuries. Most soldiers were not even lucky enough to make it out of the trenches alive. All Quiet on the Western Front portrays an accurate picture of trench warfare and how gruesome it was.

World war I is considered one of the bloodiest wars ever fought in the history of the world. A major contributor to the death toll of this war was the new tactic of trench warfare. Trench warfare is a battle strategy using man made trenches and weapons to attack and take the enemy’s trench. This battle strategy combined with the use of new war technology, and the living conditions in the trenches resulted in one of the deadliest wars ever fought by mankind.

Different weapons used in the war are, atomic bombs, aircrafts, tanks, bombs, bazookas and battleships. These weapons were very useful in the war because it helped the allies defeat the axis and get rid of the Holocaust. The aircraft's would fly over and can drop hundreds of bombs. The B-24 liberators had four engines and they could travel three thousand miles, with 10 soldiers, 10 machine guns and many bombs. Another weapon used in the war was grenades, bombs and atomic bombs. These explosives can cause lots of damage to a village. When the americans created the atomic bombs it cost lots of money and years to fully complete it. A third type of weapon used are the tanks, these powerful vehicles were covered in armor and had very powerful guns,

During the portions we viewed in class, The Last Voices of World War I covered the dangers of trench warfare, as well as the medical system devised to treat casualties. Trench warfare developed as a result of the old style of fighting, where formations of soldiers would battle on open fields, met modern weaponry such as artillery and machine guns. This led to extreme danger, not only during, but after battles. Filth, and vermin developed quickly due to the close quarters or the trench. Thus, a strong effort was made by the British to develop top of the line medical care for the wounded. This included stretcher bearers to move the men to first aid tents, then to hospitals. Consequently, World War I became one of the first wars where disease was not the primary cause of death. Disease, notwithstanding, was still a factor, as well as ailments such as trenchfoot.

Technology has existed before world war one, be as it may the technology during that time was not high technology. However after the world war, one technology and science astoundingly stormed after which helped speed up the process. The number of death and motilities are the main reason for why technology needed to improve. Technology developed rapidly because Canada was in need of efficient weapons. Especially in the flight, wireless communication, accurate engineering, and application of electric wire and gas. A man born in Edinburgh, Scotland Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in Branford, Ontario, which indeed change the lives of Canadians. The machine brought Canadians closer to each other and became part of their daily lives.

The First World War, thought to be at the time, the war to end all wars, was the first global scale conflict, predominately fought between [British Empire, France, Russia, Germany and Austria-Hungary] 28 July 1914 – 11 Nov. 1918. A major part of this war was Trench Warfare, impacting men strategically, physically and mentally. Trenches protected soldiers, helped soldiers strategically and ended up being known as one of the most brutal parts of war. When examining the devastating impact that trench warfare had on the soldiers it is important to look at the strategy, living conditions, and medical implications. Trench warfare was how the soldiers protected themselves from artillery and the enemy, in trenches. There

New technologies of World War I impacted soldiers fighting on the front lines in many ways. These new technologies were very deadly compared to the older weapons and they were also bigger and stronger. Some new technologies were rifles, chemical weapons, and improved naval warfare. Automatic rifles was one of the most important improvements of World War I because now soldiers spent a lot less time reloading and much more of their time shooting. Another new technology was brought about by Germany and it was submarine warfare. Germany went on a rampage sinking the Allied forces’ ships and neutral ships such as passenger ships. This caused the Allied forces to set up protection for supply lines which carried merchant ships with valuable cargo.

World War I, also known as the First World War, was a global war originating in Europe that lasted from July of 1914 to November of 1918. In the war, technology was just beginning to advance enough to have a considerable effect on the war. The technology developed for World War 1 was mainly offensive and this caused the war to be battled in trenches. Key technological developments include but are not limited to-the machine gun, poison gas and the creation of tanks. These innovations with new advancements led to, on both sides, a war that no one had yet to see earning it the name The Great War.

A gruesome and horrifying war, World War I led to great advancements in technology. Both sides of the war began trying to outdo one another in terms of crafting the best killing machines. With each side developing new weapons to gain the upper hand in the war, war technology became extremely important. New technology assisted soldiers in fighting the enemy in numerous different ways. Important advancements in war technology that helped define the Great War were tanks, machine guns, and flamethrowers.

Throughout time, soldiers needed new technology during World War l. Therefore, people started to have ideas of better and new technology, that developed the start of new weapons and technology to use in the war. This new technology had benefits and it also had problems.

World war 1 was a large trench war that went on 1914 to 1919. It was one of the most brutal wars that changed the world. The great war killed roughly 17 million soldiers and wounded about 20 million soldiers. This war not only killed the soldiers it killed there bloodline. In this essay i will be sharing with you on how ww1 started, how it was fought, and how the U.S got involved.

During World War One (WW1) various technological advances occurred and had a positive influence on warfare. People claim that the war was deadly due to the creation of new weapons and military tactics that were put into use. Although it can be seen as negative due to the number of casualties and the amount of conflicts that arouse, there were various benefits to the technological advances during the First World War, because trench warfare was introduced, new military tactics formed, and more efficient weapons were created.

The preparation for and the acts of war have been greatly influential in technological advancements, economic growth, and industrialization. No war has made a bigger impact in these areas than World War II, as applications in the fields of engineering and science were passed on to the military for future operations that they would have. Prior to World War II, the world that people saw on a daily basis was vastly different from the world we live in today. No one had any idea what the future would have in store for the future generations.

Millions of soldiers in World War I died needlessly because military leaders failed or were to slow to adapt their old-fashioned strategies and tactics to the new weapons introduced into the war. The war was predominantly fought with trench warfare. Although trenches were used in ancient and medieval warfare, in the American Civil War, and in the Russo-Japanese Wad, they did not become important until World War I. Technological developments in engineering, chemistry, and optics had produced weapons much more deadly than anything soldiers
