	Technology during World War I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.

	Technology during World War II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Much of it had begun development during the interwar years of the 1920s and 1930s, some was developed in response to lessons learned during the war, and yet more was only beginning to be developed as the war ended.
		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 face of naval tactics.

	World War 1
		During the war, Wilfred Owen wrote “Dulce et Decorum Est,” where he describes how the British Government had lied to it’s people, while Ernst Junger’s The Storm of Steel describes his experience in the German army.
		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.

	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.

		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 lasting from 1914 to 1919, with the fighting lasting until 1918.
		World War I became infamous for trench warfare, where troops were confined to trenches because of tight defenses.
		The War was the catalyst for the Bolshevik Russian Revolution, which would inspire later Communist revolutions in countries as diverse as China and Cuba, and would lay the basis for the Cold War standoff between the Soviet Union and the United States.

	IEEEVM: World War I Technology
		In terms of technological history, World War I is significant because it marked the debut of many new types of weapons and was the first major war to “benefit” from technological advances in radio, electrical power, and other technologies.
		The flashpoint of the war is generally regarded as the 1914 assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary, during a state visit to Sarajevo.
		World War I was also the first major war that was able to draw upon electrical technologies that had been in development at the turn of the century.

	Air Power:Bombing During World War I
		Before the outbreak of World War I in 1914, the French, Germans, Russians, and Austro-Hungarians were developing aircraft specifically designed to carry and release bombs on a target.
		During the build-up to the Battle of Mesines Ridge in the summer of 1917, the Germans struck the British munitions supply train.
		It was the airplane that the Germans developed in the autumn of 1916, however, that emerged as the most infamous bomber of World War I. The Germans longed to carry out a bombing campaign against England and worked to develop an airplane that could do it after the limitations of the zeppelin became apparent.
