	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.
