World War Two Inventions

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.

World War II was and most likely will be the largest and most great war to ever appear on this earth. Although it brought so much death and destruction with a striking total of over 60 million deaths, it is also the deadliest conflict to ever have happened as well. Out of all the horror that was WWII it did create a lot of advancements like the boost in advancements in technology. As well there were great social changes in the United States. Also there were significant boosts in medical sciences. There were economical advancements in the United States. Finally there were advancements in world peace never seen before. Though war should never be defined as good, World War II created many beneficial advancements for the United States and the world.

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

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.

There was a lot of inventions from WWII that changed the world. One of the inventions that changed us is helicopters because they help us get around faster and easier. Another was the Gustav gun it was so large it defined how we can build guns and war machines. The last one is the Goliath it was a gas powered RC vehicle that destroyed enemy tanks, which helped people get past the enemy defense. These are some of the things that changed our world.

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.

One of the most recognized technologic advancements in plans during world war one and two waqs the blitzberg plan. The World War Two era was a time of change. There were many technological advancements during this time. These advances can be categorized into three categories. They are weapon advances, vehicle advances, and strategic advances. This technology would change the face of war forever.

Which weapons were created during WW2 and what was their impact on our society today? WW2 was a very industrious and devastating period in time, in which many weapons and massive bombs were manufactured to help win the war, killing many innocent people in the process. Some of the main innovations include infantry weapons, military vehicles, and a massive nuke called the atomic bomb.

Technology played a key role in determining the outcome of World War II. The high military demand for more advanced technology acted as a catalyst for the development of technology in the interwar years of the 1920’s and 1930’s. Scientists and Engineers alike poured massive amounts of research and development time into supporting the war effort, and more advanced technology was developed at an alarmingly rapid rate. One notable fact about technology in World War II is that World War II is the first war in which many military attacks were designed

that the first submarine was named after the man who created it, CSS H. L.

First is the Nuclear Reactor, built in 1942 by the guy named Enrico Fermi was the world’s first nuclear reactor for producing power, Fermi called it an “atomic pile”also it was built in the University of Chicago(Smithsonian Timeline of Inventions). Four years later the microwave oven was introduced, but home microwaves didn’t appear until 1955. John Eckert and John Mauchly came up with the computer in 1946 at the University at Pennsylvania(Smithsonian Timeline of Inventions). It was called the ENICA, that stood for Electronic, Numerical, Integrator,and Calculator, it filled an entire room. During the war the U.S Army wanted an all-terrain recon vehicle,so the Willy Jeep was created. Army specs wanted the vehicle had to have four-wheel drive, a wheelbase not more than 80 inches, tread not more than 47 inches, ground clearance of at least 6.25 inches, a payload of 600 pounds, cooling system that would prevent engine overheating at sustained low speeds, and a vehicle weight of about 1,300 pounds(PAhistory). The jeep was built in Pennsylvania and made by a guy named Willys, owned a company called Willys-Overland. During the war automakers built about 650,000 jeeps during WW2, and entered the service in the late

During the 1920s there are very many technological advancements you may not be able to count them all. While some are way more prolific than others i will share some that are the greatest known to man and some that you now might take for granted. This period of advancements came right after WWI. Many scientists were in overdrive for the war during this time which helped to contribute to the innovative power of the 20s and 30s. Not all of these advancements were useful but were still very clever. now here are just a few of these inventions that i think are important or clever.

For this project I reinvested many knowledge i learn in school. First of all, we had talk a lot about world war II in history class, so I already know the main context of our project. We choose Scientific innovation because a lot of objects where created for the war, but we are surprised to know some of them are old like this.

In the start of WWII that nations came up with many ways to communicate to each other without being intercepted by the enemy.Some ideas/inventions used during World War II included foot, mounted, motorcycle, automobile, airplane, homing pigeons, and the messenger dog. Along with physically going to deliver a message they also had made visual messages. Which included flags, panels for airplanes, lights, and pyrotechnics. But when they didn't want to use those ways to signal messages they would send the message electronically. Which included telephone, telegraph service, and the printing telegraph.

The next big improvement came with the change from the 58 caliber rifle musket to the .45 caliber Model in 1884 which was quickly replaced by The Model 1896 Krag-Jorgensen carbine in 1896. This rifle was used by the cavalry of the Regular Army and the majority of Volunteer cavalry units during the Spanish-American War. In 1903 The United States Rifle, Caliber .30, M1 (also known as the Garand Rifle in honor of its designer John Garand), was the first semi-automatic rifle in the world to be generally issued to infantry. This rifle was the primary rifle for almost the next 40 years; primarily used most successfully during World War Over the next 40 years the army designed many different rifles to combat some of the issued that plagued the Garand rifle However, production difficulties and design issues continued to plague the new rifle. Finally, with the redesign of the barrel and gas cylinder assembly in early 1940, the rifle was ready to go into full production. Output reached 600 rifles a day by January 1941, and by the end of 1941 the M1 rifle was finally ready for
