The North had a lot of different technological advances over the South because of their industrial system and transportation system. The North also produced most of the country’s wealth. So that means they had a money to spend to have better technology. Even though North was said to be more advanced the South had some advantages too. The main one was that they were fighting war on familiar territory. They knew where to go and the fastest way to get there. The Northerns just had to guess and pretty much hope for the best. Some of the most experienced and skilled military men were Southerners. Telegraph, hot air balloon, and deadly weaponry were more key pieces of technology that changed the war. The North had another disadvantage because they
For example, Jehovah’s are not allowed to celebrate their birthdays, which looks like a cruel and unreasonable restriction. After, interrogating my friend I learned the reason behind this rule which is highly understandable. The reasoning for this according to Jehovah’s Witnesses is that it is inappropriate for one to make a celebration when there are many others suffering around the world at the same time. Furthermore, I also learned that this restriction is applicable in Islam as well for the exact same reason.
During the middle 1940s there was a lot going on in the world. This includes World War two coming to an end after the United States use of the atomic bomb on Japan, most of Europe in shambles from battles and the Russia or now called Soviet Union (USSR) turning to communism. One may think how technology could advance at such a time. Well during war a lot of pressure is put on countries to supply resources. These resources are very expensive and force citizens not going off to fight in the war to work and help supply for the war. This can also have positive effects on the economic and technological development of these countries. Wars are expensive but they do accelerate technological advancements/developments to solve specific military needs. These devices are then later implied for everyday use. The cold war is a great example of this even know there was no physical war. The science and technology that was discovered during the cold war has primarily helped drive technology to where it is today.

World War I, also known as the First World War, the Great War and the War to End All Wars, was a global military conflict which took place primarily in Europe from 1914 to 1918.[2] Over 40 million casualties resulted, including approximately 20 million military and civilian deaths.[3] Over 60 million European soldiers were mobilized from 1914 1918.[4] The immediate cause of the war was the June 28, 1914 assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, by Gavril Principe, a Bosnian Serb citizen of Austria-Hungary and member of the Black Hand. The retaliation by Austria-Hungary against Serbia activated a series of alliances that set off a chain reaction of war declarations. Within a month, much of Europe was
In the 1940’s during World War II, technology had presented an importance to ensure success on the front. There were a wide range of scientists outside the military who could make things like this possible. When the war was ending, it had been discussed that lasting peace may not be guaranteed for the future. People in the war department of the Military and in other sections discussed the need for “private organization to connect military planning with research and development decisions” (cite
The market and transportation revolution in the 19th century, subsequently caused huge changes in the economic, social, and independent markets in the United states. The market revolution boom, largely attributable to better technologies, excelling the growth of factories and mass productions. The transportation revolution was a byproduct of the expanding of railroads, canals, and shipping of the products. Of which opened an entirely new way to sell and purchase products, crops, and other goods with more than just small town communities.
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
It was dubbed The Manhattan Project and consisted of some of the most brilliant physicists at the time such as Albert Einstein. Then, in 1945 arguably the most powerful and controversial technology was developed. This was the nuclear bomb and it completely changed the world forever. This weapon could be used to decimate entire cities and the only time it was ever used during any conflict was in 1945 (Shalett, n.d.). Japan was the target and the bomb left nothing but rubble in its path.
What would Americans do if they couldn’t travel anywhere on roads? How would goods be transferred to the United States from other countries without canals? These are the questions that many U.S. citizens were asking themselves in the early 1800s. Towards the end of the 1700s transportation needs in the U.S. were extreme. The federal and state governments were directing more attention to this need for the country and were quick to come up with a solution. Henry Clay, who was a member of the United States House of Representatives, came up with the genius idea of the American System including the construction of canals and railroads. This would soon be the most important influence on the growth of Industry in America, especially with the National
During the revolution, new roads, financed by tolls, then began developing. One major road was the National Road that reached from Maryland to West Virginia. Another new form of transportation was canals, which was cheaper and more efficient. A significant improvement in transportation was the steamboat, which reduced the cost of transportation, moved people and goods faster, and allowed a two-way commerce on the Mississippi and Ohio rivers. Railroads were also a significant development because it allowed fast travel on land. Factories developed during this time, and people began working there instead of at home. All of these changes allowed people to produce goods to sell more than to keep for themselves, and the economy

People immigrated and traveled to cities for the increase of money and job from what they were making from farming. The factory work had appeared and seemed to be less strenuous than the farming work, and they looked forward to a better income and money and most satisfying lifestyle.
The 40’s were best known for World War II, but did you know that Velcro was invented during this time period? In the 1940’s, technological changes occurred with their effects being both positive and negative, but these effects have benefited society more by being the basis of many things used today. The technology in the 1940’s had undergone many changes.
American army officer Omar Bradley once said,“If we continue to develop our technology without wisdom or prudence, our servant may prove to be our executioner.” The meaning of this quote lies in the destruction and devastation of humanity and geography during war. If we do not stop advancing in ways of killing and causing suffering, we will soon face the consequences of these technologies. Throughout World War I and World War II, there was a ginormous technological boom in which countries were competing to invent new weapons or vehicles used in warfare. Specifically, World War I could be blamed for the start of the creating of new technologies used in warfare even today. These technologies were often invented or created during World War I,
