	Warriors Weapons
		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.

		World War I, also known as the First World War, the Great War, the War of the Nations, and the War to End All Wars, was a world conflict occurring from 1914 to 1918.
		World War I proved to be the decisive break with the old world order, marking the final demise of absolutist monarchy in Europe.
		The defeat of Germany in the war and failure to resolve the unsettled issues that had caused the Great War would lay the basis for the rise of National Socialism, and thus the outbreak of World War II in 1939.

		During the war the Germans produced various Glide bomb weapons, which were the first smart bombs; the V-1 flying bomb, which was the first cruise missile weapon; and the V-2 rocket, the first ballistic missile weapon.
		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 coarse of the war.

	War -
		War is too serious, and too expensive, to be left to the whim of chance, yet throughout history many governments have been willing to engage in war if it suited their interests as they perceived them, and many have also been dragged into wars when cooler calculations might have encouraged them to remain at peace.
		War bonds featured strongly in the two world wars, and it was regarded as patriotic to use personal savings to purchase them--though most of the borrowing came from institutions.
		Recession was averted at the end of World War II by reconstruction of the cities and economies of western Europe and Japan.

	directopedia : Directory : Society : History : By Time Period : Middle Ages : War and Weapons
		War is a state of widespread conflict between states, organisations, or relatively large groups of people, which is characterised by the use of lethal violence 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.

	World War II US Submarine warfare operations in the Pacific 1941 1945
		Committed to a war in two theaters of operations, the logistics of moving man and machinery over vast expanses of the Pacific Ocean against a seasoned and tenacious enemy was an obstacle that certainly had to be overcome if the war against Japan was to prove to be victorious.
		To be in compliance with the agreement, the submarine would have to leave the relative safety of the ocean's depths by surfacing, rendering her highly vulnerable to an air attack or a counterattack by the an enemy warship.
		During the same time the US was tenaciously safeguarding the MK VI, both Britain and Germany abandoned their use of a similar devices they had developed due to the equipment's unreliability.

	Technological escalation during World War II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unlike technological escalation during World War I, it was generally believed that speed and firepower, not defenses or entrenchments, would bring the war to a quicker end.
		Depending on one's frame of reference, one can reasonably assert that World War II began with the Japanese invasion of Manchuria in 1931, or as late as the last declarations of war between the United States and Germany in December 1941.
		Quite a bit occurred during this time to escalate technological conflict, most notably the upgrading and deployment of aircraft carriers by the U.S. and Japan in the Pacific, and invention of carrier-type aircraft such as the Mitsubishi Zero, largely considered the best plane of its time.
