Technological Innovations During World War One

The technology of World War II, which lasted from 1939 to 1945, was a big part of the determination of the outcome of the war. Much of the technology was developed during the interwar years. Some of it was developed because of failure and hindrance in war progression, obviously because of inefficient technology. Still some was in the beginning stages of development as the war ended. Though earlier war greatly utilized science, mathematics, and innovation, World War II had the largest impact on the innovation in technology of the current lives of Americans. Furthermore, no war, preceeding or succeeding, was as profoundly affected by science, mathematics, and technology as World War II. Science and technology have always made

World War I left a lasting impression on the world. New weapons such as tanks and poison gas turned the war into a “war of attrition.” Trench warfare was primarily used in this war and the conditions there were part of the reason why millions of people died. The war remained a stalemate between the opposing sides until the United States made the decision to join the war on the side of the Allies. This changed the course of the war and the Allies beat the Central Powers. Many factors in Europe contributed to the start of the war. Later, other reasons forced America to join the war which would leave drastic results.

“Freedman breaks down the Great War into key battles and issues, covering the causes of the war, the leaders, the modern weapons and technology, and the war 's consequences. Firsthand accounts of allied and German soldiers are presented as well.”(Miller). The start of the war that every country was part of. It was the War that changed everybody 's lives. The War was an outbreak to to all of the countries. “Only when the world went to war again in the 1930s and ’40s did the earlier conflict become known as the First World War. Its casualty totals were unprecedented, soaring into the millions. World War I is known for the extensive system of trenches from which men of both

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.

Locomotives and the use of rail enabled armies to move and resupply more quickly, the speed of feet no longer constrained movement. Steam power, along with iron building materials and better cannons, changed naval warfare. Improving ships led to further technological advances in order to counter the advantages of the iron clad fleets, such as submarines.

WWI was a war between groups of major industrial powers. New technology made this war extremely destructive. Dynamite invented in 1867 was used in mining and construction became important in weaponry. The use of internal combustion engine, tank, airplane and communication devices was put to military use. The use of modern technology started about 50 years before the WWI. During the American civil war from 1861 to 1865, in the years after this use of technology continued and soldiers tested new weapons through many smaller conflicts. In the beginning of the first WWI, it was just like a clash of 20th-century technology with 19th-century ammunition and weapons in the form of ineffective battle with a large number of causalities.

Weaponry was a big thing in WW1; it was represented something good for one side and something bad for the other. In WW1 the invention of new weapons were all over the place. Most of the time the weapons were used to kill or to help in a way to kill. With all of these new things coming all around the people had to react very quickly or try to analyze the problems with it and try to use it against them.

During World War 1, innovation shaped causing changes to the social, economic and political structures of the world. Numerous innovations coming out from all around the world were war based, giving nations that superiority in the war. The most feared of the time, poison gas, most often used for the destroying the strength of trench warfare.

The years 1918-1939, which separate World War I from World War II, witnessed profound changes in how technologically advanced military organizations would fight. In most of the cases, during peacetime, military innovation, and technological developments played an empowering or helping role in advancing profoundly new and more operative ways of fighting. In a narrow and strict sense, such innovative improvements were revolutionary. The technological revolution reached the battlefields and forever changed the way that armies required from the fragile airplanes and unreliable tanks of World War I to evolve into more sophisticated weapons by the late 1930s. Amount military innovations which influence the inter-war period, we will focus our

Thanks to the Industrial Revolution and many new inventions that were made, The Great War brought a new style to war. The technology advances from wars past to the Great War influenced how the war was fought and even how long the war lasted. Thanks to new inventions the Great War lasted longer and the Casualty rate was incredibly high.

World War I was the first major war where technology was relied on more than the troops themselves. After what was called the “Second Industrial Revolution” most major countries started to create new technologies that in the end would pave the way for World War I. These technologies ranged from the most used everyday things all the way up to specific types of weaponry to be used in specific scenarios along the trenches. Most of these technologies of war, developed from common civilian or household items, these could only result in better use in war. These “machines of war” are so vast and expansive in type, but they are all technologies that would have needed to have been used to bring the war to a close. Not only were machines a large part but so was Scientific technologies, and innovations that saved or took the lives of many.

German troops were exhausted and resources and food was scarce (Carrodus, et. al. 2012).The National Archives (n.d.), United Kingdom Government Website states The German ‘Unterseeboots’, also called U-boats, were German Submarines. These submarines were devised as a counter attack, to the British Blockade of Germany, they were improved with new features including wireless transmitters and with machine guns on deck. The U-boats also triggered the development of depth charge, the British being able to see them but not attack. Barnett (2005),educator and soldier corroborates this by stating that the British Blockade was the weapon of deprivation, that it was a large contributing factor to the victory over Germany. Schreiner (1916), American correspondent supports that of Barnett and The National archives as an eyewitness account of the famine in Germany. As he describes the lack of daily food, which is why the triple entente was able to push Germany so far back. Germany introduced the unrestricted submarine warfare policy. This meant Germany would attack any suspicious ship. This instigated USA entering the war and to the unluck of Germany when they deprived men, food and resources USA pushed them back to an extent of defeat (The National Archives n.d.). Therefore if the available technologies to made Germany's U-boats and the start of their

The post World War II era provided new opportunities for the people of United States to explore and develop new technologies which changed the United States dramatically; for example, a treatment for polio, space exploration, introduction to computer, advancement in weapons industry, auto industry, and color television etc. With all the technological advancements, how did technology change United States? The paper will discuss the technological changes that happened in each era since 1945s to 2000. The paper will give each decade’s most important technological inventions and changes; additionally, changes in people’s lives and what were positive or negatives impact in society, politics, and economy.
