World War Two Inventions

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.

Proximity fuses is also a new invention during the WWII, and it helped Allies to successfully defend the attack by Germany V-1 rockets. This is one of the most significant inventions of the war, rivaling that of the atomic bomb. The reason why proximity fuses have been invented is because the antiaircraft only can attack the plain in about 100 feet, but if the cannonball boom early only half

Most wars have numerous examples of new technologies developed as part of the war. A war that clearly demonstrates said developments is World War II. In fact, WWII is noted as a

William Pollard once said, "Learning and innovation go hand in hand. The arrogance of success is to think that what you did yesterday will be sufficient tomorrow." Maybe the generals of World War 1 (WW1) should have been told this when they used cavalry when they were outdated and rifles and machine guns were the weapons of this war. They found this out the hard way which sparked the time of technological innovations and changes that was WW1. The three technological innovations I will write about are machine guns, planes and tanks.

A Rifle could shoot a bullet up to 1,000 yards–and were more accurate. However, until the 1850s it was nearly impossible to use these guns in battle because, since a rifle’s bullet had roughly the same diameter as its barrel, they took too long to load. (Soldiers sometimes had to pound the bullet into the barrel with a mallet.)

World War One, one of the most deadliest wars in history, caused massive damage to countries in Europe. During World War One, the technology advanced, with many creations were created, that caused a high amount of death and destruction. The U-Boat, also known as a submarine, is a underwater boat that the Germans used during World War One. The Tank was developed in World War One to help make crossing no man’s land easier. Poison gas was used in World War One as a new tactic to kill people in the trenches

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 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.

In fact, many of the technologies introduced during the war, are still being used today. Hydrophones now the modern cell phone were one of the main technological advances as well as automobiles. WW1’s Hydrophones were invented in 1914 by Reginald Fessenden Hydrophones were designed for the purpose of having a waterproof microphone, which could record underwater.

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

The result of World War II was affected by many different factors. One major factor which affected the war was the weapons and artillery used during the war. Since the beginnings of time, weapons have always been around. From swords and knives to nuclear weapons and missiles, weapons have evolved greatly throughout the years. The weapons and artillery used in World War II basically were evolved types of weaponry that were used during World War I (Military History 1).

There was more to World War II then just soldiers battling in the front lines.Soldiers were also battling for their lives due to infections and diseases. Although when most people think about World War 2 they think about the Nazis, the Holocaust, or Pearl harbor, behind the scenes medicine was part of what kept us running. Soldiers relied on medicine heavily during World War two and the need for treatments were great causing a rush on medical advances. A lot of the medical advances made during World War 2 would benefit us even after the war ended.

Historian Daniel Kevles called World War II the “Physicist’s War.” World War II represented the greatest expenditure on a physics program in history. It developed two main technologies: radar and the atomic

It has been estimated that 80% of the Wehrmacht was horse-drawn; at any given time during the war, the Germans maintained some 1.1-million horses soon Automatic aircraft also played a major role in the war in www2 Nazi Germany made the v1 and the v2 which were a huge upgrade from the old planes in ww1.The development of sailing vessels (replacing oared vessels) revolutionized naval warfare and Devices as radar, which greatly contributed, for example, to alerting the Royal Air Force’s Fighter Command of impending German bomber attacks during the Battle of Britain (1940 coupled with uses of better equipment and weapons which helped both the allies and the axis . The technology changed the ways battle were fought by upgrading the weapons and making equipment like No advancement as fast as the planes in world war 2 Planes were used for bomb and run mission especially biplanes while During ww1 planes were used for scouting out territory and night bombing and fighting and ground attacks but were mostly used for scouting

Through the course of World War Two, the Nazi regime made many technological advancements, some were a success and inspired new inventions for years to come. Others were only used once or twice and were deemed a failure. The Fritz-X and StG 44 were recognized as a major success for the German war effort, but other projects such as Schwerer Gustav were a disaster. The Nazi’s gained the upper hand on the opposition multiple times using new technologies with most being a success. One of more the widely popular inventions that the Nazis used was the StG 44.
