The Beginning Of World War One

World War One, otherwise known as the great war because of its ghastliness, started in July 28, 1914. The war was started because of raising tension in Europe, imperialism, militarism, and nationalism all added to the growing tension. Conflict escalated after the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, the archduke of Austria-Hungary, committed by Serbs, caused Austria-Hungary to declare war on Serbia. This created a chain reaction of nations joining the war because of the allie system. Because of the allie system, Germany and the Ottoman Empire joined to support Austria-Hungary which was called the Allied Powers, and France, Russia, and Great Britain joined in support of Serbia, called the Central Powers.. Eventually by 1917, the United States decided

Have you ever wondered about the aircraft from World War Two? Or how aircrafts operated, or what materials they used to operate and win in dogfights? The WWII era was one of the first time that airplanes were used to fight in wars on such a large scale and with such a large impact. Aircraft was extremely beneficial in this war. Airplanes were a huge advantage in WWII because of all the ammunition they carried, and they used a lot of resources to help fight during WWII for their country.

In today’s world, the use of airplanes in wars or in everyday life has become a part of how we live as human beings. Removing the air forces of the world is like taking a step back in time when wars were only fought on land or sea. WWI began only eleven short years after the Wright brothers achieved powered flight in 19031 and yet aircrafts were being used for surveillance and eventually combat purposes. It is understood that these aircrafts were primitive, but they laid down the foundation for what we know today as fighter jets. The Fokker Eindecker “revolutionized air combat by successfully employing a synchronized forward -firing machine gun mounted on the engine cowling”2. Because this airplane became the first to successfully use a

As World War II progressed, the advancements that had shown up on and in the combat zones, seas and the overall attitude of World War I were enhanced and made considerably more viable and lethal. I will be going over a few of the innovations during World War II as well as a few of the tactics and strategies used when overcoming some of the geographic obstacles.

The First World War (WWI) was fought from 1914 to 1918 and the Second World War (or WWII) was fought from 1939 to 1945. They were the largest military conflicts in human history. Both wars involved military alliances between different groups of countries.

World War I (WWI), which was predominantly called the World War or the Great War from its occurrence until 1939, and the First World War or World War I thereafter, was a major war centered in Europe that began on 28 July 1914 and lasted until 11 November 1918. It involved all the world's great powers, which were assembled in two opposing alliances: the Allies (centered on the Triple Entente of the United Kingdom, France and Russia) and the Central Powers (originally centered on the Triple Alliance of Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy). These alliances both reorganized (Italy fought for the Allies), and expanded as more nations entered the war. Ultimately more than 70 million military personnel, including 60 million Europeans, were

New air technologies in the early mid-twentieth century had played major roles in war. The United States air forces were rapidly evolving between World War I and World War II. Aircraft structures and weapons developed along with the manufacture of new systems and devices. The United States Air Force made technological advancements in aviation, including weaponry, aircraft structure, and navigation, during the World Wars (1914-1945).

After the creation of an aircraft brought a whole new era. Many people couldn’t begin to understand how aviation was going to be used. Many people feared the thought of Airplanes being used since it was almost the start of a war. By having the availability of aircraft, it opened many possibilities at the start of World War 1. During World War 1, many Airplanes were used primarily for reconnaissance or in other terms a military observation of a region to locate an enemy. Following World War 1 was mainly trench

Another author takes a different approach to the effect the military had on the airplane in the military impact school of thought. Christine MacLeod suggests in his article that the military was the main reason for the advancement of the airplane at such a rapid pace. With inventors coming from all corners of the nation to pool their knowledge to advance the airplane during the war, and inventions getting mixed into other inventions, MacLeod figured that without the war to spur them on at such an incredibly rate, the airplane wouldn’t have advanced as far as it had. He analyzes the many lawsuits and compensations the United States had to credit to inventors due to the mixing of inventions and developments individuals had during the war. There

Throughout World War II the US used airplanes in many different ways. Some were used to carry troops and supplies, some were used as bombers, and some were used to attack directly. The P-51 Mustang, the Boeing P-17 Flying Fortress, and the Martin B-26 Marauder are just a few examples of these. Even though each plane had a different job, they all came together to help win the war.

As war from the ground or the seas was not enough, war finally expanded to the air in the 20th century. These airplanes were finally introduced to warfare in the year 1911. Airplanes were first used for recon until finally weapons were added to them. Different countries competed to build the best most advanced airplanes. As the time for war came countries such as England and Germany designed fighter planes and bombers too. A couple of the airplanes that Germany managed to crank out for World War II were the ME-109 and the Stuka Bomb Diver. Meanwhile the British had the Spitfire Diver which was used by the Royal Air Force. These airplanes managed to cause major damage during war.

Aerial warfare was also in the rise for the modern warfare, the Germans were developing the zeppelin which was an airship that is long and cylinder shape and had a rigid frame. It was used for bombings, but it was vulnerable because it used a highly flammable gas, so it was basically a flying bomb too. The zeppelin started to target the main base of Britain,but ended bombing a residence. This led to the production of the plane to stop the zeppelin to have another raid. The first planes had machine guns mounted in the front and back. Since WW1 was the first modern warfare, aerial warfare was introduced and new tech was being used and this was new so the pilots don't have that much training and were only trained for like couple month or weeks. This supports my thesis by showing that the technology they used in the war was modern like using aerial warfare in the battle field. The zeppelin was a good example of an advance invention the Germans had invented because it was the first to set of in the air. Aviation was the first for these soldiers and many of them gave up their lives in the battle

This presentation is about aircraft not just any aircraft but the aircraft during WWII what role did they play? Well they played a very huge role. What do you mean by that? Well I mean that without them the battle would be undetermined. Aircraft delivered weaponry so they would be more armed. They were able to also drop bombs and attack from above. But in this presentation we will be focusing in on one specific plane this plane is called the p-40 war hawk. The p-40 war hawk was a phenomenal plane during WWII. See this planes specifications.

North American Aviation, a company that manufactures aircraft, got an order from the British for Curtiss P-40 fighter planes; they needed planes for the inevitable war ahead. However, the president of North American had an idea for a new fighter, called the P-51 Mustang, with an Allison V-1710-39 engine. Without the engine, and with the help of experienced workers, a prototype was built in 117 days. It flew six weeks after the prototype was finished and immediately outperformed the existing fighter planes. One of its most extraordinary features was its improved wing design. It strayed from the regular wing measurements and thickness, resulting in a sleeker, faster, and more elusive
