The World War I Technology

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

Since the majority of the Great War accounts for a vast network of resources on what the trenches ultimately provided this research will explore within and above trench lines. The failed plans of leaders halted what is known to be the most strategic play in physical versus intellectual attributes of warfare altogether. If it weren’t for the salient of trench warfare throughout the years of 1914-1918, indulged the importance of communication and its

Between the years of 1914 to 1918, the whole of Europe was locked in arms, not only for pride but mostly for survival. The years of war brought devastation upon all societies. Men were massacred in droves, food stuff dwindled, and at times an end seemed non-existent. The foundation of the first Great War, one can muse, began as a nationalistic race between rival nations. By the onset of 1914, once the Archduke Frendinad had been assassinated in Saravejo, the march for war became not just a nationalistic opinion, but now a frenzy to fight. In battle, unlike previous wars, new weaponry caused drastic alterations in strategy. No longer will armies stand to face their rivals on the plains. Now the war will be fought in trenches, hidden

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.

In Washington D.C., 1917 is when president Woodrow Wilson called to be in the military. The new weapon inventions that helped us win, the effects on woman when I got back home,and my health .I was sad when I had to leave my family. I had a four year old son and a six year old daughter.

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 one had many advances in technology one of these advances was in tanks. Even though tanks in world war one were not ideal they in future wars would make a very useful and powerful piece of technology. Tanks did however provide a need on the battlefield and could do what armored cars could not do. A tank was a useful source of technology as “The tank had been invented to deal with two major problems on the battlefields of the Great War. The first was the machine gun, without armor attacking a trench line defended by machine guns was suicide for the foot soldier.

Technology has made a huge difference in the world since history, and it has been a reason why people are more social. In the old times since the 1960’s to the 1980’s many people didn't knew where many things came from or they didn't knew how it was made or know anything about technology. Until, in the year 1440 printing press came as a form of technology to people that allowed them to write news on newspapers and inform the people many things about what was going on in the world and how many things were created.

The men and women that worked in the hospitals had to provide care for terrible injuries without much of the basic equipment and materials. Giving and storing blood was done directly from one person to another. It was a U.S. army doctor who realized the need to stockpile blood on the Western Frontier in 1917. Blood was kept on ice for up to 28 days and was then transported to casualty clearing stations for use in life-saving surgery where it was needed most. Technological innovations that were developed in the First World War had a massive impact on survival rates. At the beginning of the war, 80% of all soldiers with a broken femur died. By 1916, 80% of soldiers with this injury had survived. The speed of treatment changed over time.

Leading into the Fall of 1914, tactics on both sides of the line involved the rapid mobilization, maneuver and envelopment of the opposing side.10 Pre-1914 doctrine took little into account the effects of emerging new technology and their impact on both defensive and offensive operations. This disconnect between doctrine and technology contributed to the failure of early offensive operations in the Fall of 1914 and resulted in staggering casualties.11 Both sides developed doctrine that took into effect the unique terrain and technology that had been developed prior and during World War I. However by the end of the war, a combination of flexibility, decentralized control, and counterattack at every echelon made the German defensive system the most effective.12 This “elastic defense” had three unique characteristics; dedicated counter-attack force at all levels, decentralized command and control, fluid defensive belts and integrated artillery support at the Division level. Under this new doctrine, Corps headquarters had the role sustaining subordinate units, but not directing their actions during battle.13 This defense-in-depth and the lessons learned during the Verdun battles of 1918 were so successful that British forces adopted many of the German tactics with a special emphasis on their counterattack capability.10 Utilizing the new doctrine, by August 1918, Germany had made substantial gains, however had

In World War I, about ten countries were involved. The countries separated themselves into allies: The Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary, Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria) and The Allies (Britain, France, Russia, Italy, Japan, and the United States). World War I lasted for four years and suffered from great amounts of casualties. Eight million soilders suffered from casualties on the battlefield because of the new technology availible. World War I introduced the immense use of machine guns, poisonous gases, tanks, and submarines. The new technology dramatically increased the number of casualties compared to preceding wars.

WW1 ended with catastrophic destructions and millions of casualties in the old continent; therefore, many countries and nations were desperate such a great war not to happen again, but they were preparing for the next war all the time during the interwar period. The interwar period between WW1 and WW2 is a period of transformation of the armed forces towards twentieth and twenty first century warfare. Countries were rapidly improving the already existing technologies that was developed during WW1 and prior, and they introduced to the world many new technologies that will play major part in vining the battles in the upcoming war. Furthermore, for all nations it was clear that they must spend time on developing new organizational structures and

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,

Predicting the next war has been a pastime of military thinkers for centuries. A 19th century theorist, Jean du Bloch, analyzed the trends of evolving technology in weapons. He predicted with remarkable accuracy the characteristics of warfare that occurred in the First World War. Regarded as a pacifist, his conclusions were viewed as too radical to be acceptable with the evidence that existed at the publication of his work. His thesis, that war between great powers was impossible, focused on the social, political, and economic ramifications caused by the increase in fire power and destructive potential of new technology. Despite du Bloch’s accuracy in predicting the characteristics of the First World War, he failed to see that characteristics

Have you ever wondered what tactics each side of a war uses and how each have similarities and differences between both.Well in this paper I will show how modern warfare were surprisingly the same and different from what our ancestors used.The guerilla warfare and modern war have their pros and cons.Also,each war has its own secrets and special strategies that were used.
