The technology during World War I vs. World War II
World War I
General Military Warfare
Battleships, warships.
Machine guns (note any tech. innovations)
Machine guns have capability to automatically reload a new bullet and fire without interruption for extended period of time. During this time, machine guns can fire almost 300 rounds per a minute. Has a heavy rate of fire produced problems with the design of machine guns barrel get too hot.
Airplanes & Air Combat (note any tech. innovations)
During World War I most airplanes were mostly spies. Airplanes in World War I were a advantage of fly over enemy territory searching for enemy artillery or troops. The pilots would take notes, or sometimes a photographer or observer. once the machine gun was invented, it immediately adapted the use of airplanes. But the only problem is that the pilot need a gun that he could aim by steering the plane. Some airplanes were even built with a propeller at the back, allowing a clear view in front of the plane. At this time, parachutes were not common in airplanes. Some pilot considered death was more honorable choice.
Submarines (note any tech. innovations)
The greatest advantage to take down ship from under. The submarines can go 150 feet deeper. Has torpedoes, and guns mounted on the deck to attack enemy ships. Submarines has very limited in their capacity to function underwater. Submarines used an oil-fired engine like as gasoline or diesel to power the submarines.
Mines (sea and land) (note any tech. innovations)
A siege method that surprise anyone that comes through it. Hidden explosives against Tanks, jeeps even a troops.
Gas in warfare (note any tech. innovations) in the warfield
The French created tear gas grenade. In April of 1915, the Germans were firmly entrenched against the French, and German officials were looking for a way to break through the stalemate. Their solution was Chlorine Gas.
Tanks (note any tech. innovations)
It became a major part of warfare. It can reach top speed of 4 mph on flat land, and turn sharply at top speed. It also can climb a five feet parapet, and cross an eight feet gap. The largest problem with early tanks was keeping them crewed and in working order. They weigh 50 tons.
World War II
General Military Warfare
Combat airplanes, Submarines
Machine guns (note any tech. innovations)
Machine guns in World War II changed, and became more reliable even though the bases are the same. There were two types of machine guns, light machine guns, and the heavy machine guns. Light machine guns were designed to move easier when it’s carrier were moved. The heavy machine gun had more better rate of fire and more accurate fire.
Airplanes & Air Combat (note any tech. innovations)
Aircraft Carriers were invented which become a new age for the innovations for air combat. Planes became more lighter, and faster, and easy to move. Machine guns were more powerful and easier to aim with accuracy. At this time planes could drop bombs. Several combat aircrafts were designed and built among America's most famous, _P51 Mustang, and the F4U Corsair, and lastly B-29 Superfortress, which is remembered as the airplane that can dropped the atomic bomb.
Submarines (note any tech. innovations)
Submarines were comprised less than 2% of the U.S Navy. Submarines got sonar to detect objects on or under the surface of the water. There is also passive sonar which listens for the sound made by vessels. Active sonar are emitting pulses of sounds and listening for echoes. The submarines can fire torpedoes that which can sunk mega ships. At this time submarines increased by speed and increased with powerful weapons.
Mines (sea and land) (note any tech. innovations)
Mines were created similarly, but the blast radius had increased. Sea mines were created to take down ships and submarines.
Gas in warfare (note any tech. innovations) in the warfield
Gas Chambers during the Holocaust.
Gas in Holocaust (note any tech. innovations)
Extermination camps are executed in massive gas chambers. They gassed 12,000 people a day.
Tanks (note any tech. innovations)
Amor became stronger and heavier. Anti-aircraft tanks were built to shoot down planes. Tanks gained more suspension to go over obstacles. The U.S built light tanks to be more reliable, but poor armor. Light Tank M2.
Radar (note any tech. innovations)
Invented to spot enemy airplanes and even submarines in the screen. they spot anything for hundreds mile even at night.
Nuclear weapons (note any tech. innovations)
The United States created the Atomic Bomb, plutonium implosion with 21,000 tons of high explosives. The last radius was 50 miles far. Destructive radius circle: 7.1 miles.
Secret Communication Code (note any tech. innovations)
Navajo Code Talkers were American marines stormed an enemy beach and communicate soldiers in the radio. The language was hidden language, Had not written alphabet and was known only as Navajo and few missionaries and anthropologist.
