	War (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		War is a state of widespread conflict between states, organisations, or relatively large groups of people, which is characterised by the use of violent, physical force between combatants or upon civilians.
		A war to liberate an occupied country is sometimes characterised as a "war of liberation", while a war between internal elements of the same state may constitute a civil war.
		At the outbreak of World War I the writer Thomas Mann wrote, "Is not peace an element of civil corruption and war a purification, a liberation, an enormous hope?" This attitude was embraced by many societies from Sparta in Ancient Greece and the Ancient Romans to the fascist states of the 1930s.

	Technology during World War II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Given the scope of the war and the rapid technological escalation which happened during the war, a vast array of technology was employed, as different nations and different units found themselves equipped with different levels of technology.
		Wars across the world in the 1930s, such as the Spanish Civil War and the bombing of Shanghai, had demonstrated the power of strategic bombing, and so air forces in Europe and America came to view bomber aircraft as extremely powerful weapons which, in theory, could bomb an enemy nation into submission on their own.
		Naval warfare changed dramatically during World War II, with the ascent of the aircraft carrier to the premier vessel of the fleet, and the impact of increasingly capable submarines (originally known as U-boats by the Germans) on the face of naval tactics.

	Technology during World War I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Technology during World War I reflected a general trend to industrialism and the application of mass production techniques to killing.
		Dual-use technology, initially designed for civilian use but now applied to the task of killing, and defending against means of killing, played a major role in the war.
		Even during the final advances of 1918, tanks were of limited use, as they broke down often and could not keep up the rapid advances they initiated.

	Technology during World War I Summary
		It was not until the final year of the war that the major armies made effective steps in revolutionizing matters of command and control and tactics to adapt to the modern battlefield, and started to harness the myriad of new technologies to effective military purposes.
		By World War II, the tank had evolved to a fearsome weapon which made the trench obsolete, just as the trench and the machine gun had made horse-mounted cavalry obsolete.
		World War I was the first conflict in which submarines were a serious weapon of war.

		World War I marked the entry of fully industrialized warfare, and weapons as well were developed quickly to meet wartime needs.
		World War II however, perhaps marked the most frantic period of weapons development in the history of humanity.
		After World War II, with the onset of the Cold War, the constant technological development of new weapons was institutionalized, as participants engaged in a constant race to develop weapons and counter-weapons.

	Technology during the Cold War - My Homepage
		The problem during World War II was that it was difficult to calculate the trajectory of most aircraft weaponry because one had to account for every combination of gun, shell, and fuse (Edwards, 49.) Stemming from this problem was the necessary development of computing systems, and subsequently the creation of the first digital computers.
		During the Cold War, computers also played a very important role in developing the way in which ballistic missiles could be fired and their degree of accuracy.
		After World War II, the BRL was used to calculate equations regarding the accuracy and trajectory of ballistic missiles.

		The laws of war use the term in the latter sense: to identify and attack a locality, facility, or enemy personnel that under the circumstances constitutes a legitimate military target.
		Military operations in the Gulf War in 1991 demonstrated the precision with which military targets could be hit without injury or disruption of the civilian population.
		The military commander planning or executing the attack cannot be the final arbiter of whether the loss of civilian life and property is reasonably proportionate to the attacks military advantage.

		It began in 1914 as countries mobilized their military causing an outburst of nationalist pride and ended in 1918, closing a horrendous chapter in world history.
		During World War 1 planes were used for the first time to bomb targets and lunch gas attacks, and machine guns would take out an entire line of soldiers.
		War is never good but it is even worse when it is not for a noble cause.
