Inventions of WWII There was a lot of inventions from WWII that changed the world. One of the inventions that changed us is helicopters because they help us get around faster and easier. Another was the Gustav gun it was so large it defined how we can build guns and war machines. The last one is the Goliath it was a gas powered RC vehicle that destroyed enemy tanks, which helped people get past the enemy defense. These are some of the things that changed our world. Was the Gustav gun ever destroyed or found? The Gustav gun was never destroyed or found. Many people thought they found leftover parts from the Gustav, but the part was never used for the Gustav gun. The reason they thought it was the Gustav was that there were large muzzles scattered all around. You would think they would have destroyed they, Gustav because it used 4 railroad tracks to get around and it was 47 meters long or 155 feet. It would probably be easier today to find a 1488 ton gun, but back then you could even hide it in plain sight. The last time the Gustav was ever used in WWII was ¨outside of Warsaw in 1944 when some 30 shells were used¨ (Chanter, 2). So the Gustav gun was never found or destroyed during WWII. …show more content…
There are many Goliaths that made it through WWII, they are displayed in museums all over the world like the ¨United States Army Ordnance Museum.¨ There were over 7,564 Goliaths made during WWII, they were only about 1 ft tall and 4ft long. They were used to destroy enemy tanks and guard stations, which helped because it carried 60 kg of explosives. It was hard at first for it to work because they used a electric motor instead of a gas power motor. They must have to plan ahead to blow up tanks because it only went 6 mph, so many of them were not destroyed. So if you ever wanted to see one of the Goliaths go to 1:8 museums around the
World War II (WWII) made a significant impact in shaping modern Australia. This war contributed to social, political and technological developments throughout Australia and the world.
World War Two brought about extreme changes to the United States. In many ways it changed how Americans acted and thought about themselves, thus making a statement to rest of the world. Moreover, World War Two strengthened the United States, and Federal Government. The Government took control of entire industries, According to Bernstein, “military leaders acted from a mixture of motives and attitudes—a desire to control the economy to guarantee military-supply programs” (Bernstein, 1967). They fixed Americans wages, rent, rationing of food, and other supplies.
One of the handguns used during WWI by the United States was the M1917 Revolver. The production of this revolver started in 1917 and spanned into 1920, and it remained in service until 1954. The barrel if the gun was a standard 5.5 inches while the revolver had an overall length of 10.8 inches. (Colt Model 1917) There
During ww2 the development of many different technological advances helped shorten the war but also in some ways allowed more people to die. Technology such as the first analogue computer invented by Alan Turing and the nuclear bomb shortened the war by at least 3 years each; they saved thousands of lives unfortunately some of them also had to kill people to achieve that. Advancements in tank and aircraft technology allowed the German blitzkrieg at the beginning of the war, and probably largely stopped the war from being trench warfare.
During World War 2, there are many big events that took place and still affects the world today. One main event that really changed America was the draft, where the United States instituted the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940, which required all men between the ages of 21 and 45 to register for the draft. This drastically transformed the lives of almost every family in America, and to execute our skit we decided to do it on the draft. The main focus of our skit had to do with how war and the draft modified the emotions of the person be drafted and the families. We achieved this by adding the interviews to show how the person was personally feeling, and yes, we did have an addition of a “joke” interview as me.
Technology played an important role in WWII. Major advances in weaponry, communications, and industry by both sides impacted the way the war was fought and the outcome of the war.
Saying that World War II completely changed the world is a simple fact; it ushered in a new progression that transformed everything. No other war had a more profound effect on the advancements of our current lives than World War II (1939-45). We can point to numerous new inventions and scientific principles that emerged during the war. Industrial weaponry was a huge breakthrough, this included, ships, vehicles, tanks, automatic aircraft, artillery, rocketry, small arms; and biological, chemical, and atomic weapons. All of these weapons helped in making the countries that had the best and most powerful weapons, win. Explosive bombs played a part in the war and was newly developed for tension between the United States and Japan during that time. Some of those weapons were also used for logistical support; vehicles
The nazis had the best tanks in world war two. The Germans had 64 different kinds of tanks some of the more popular ones used was the panzer series and the panther series they also had tiger tanks
World War II caused greater destruction than any other war in history. The war took the lives about 17 million soldiers and an even greater number civilians, who died as a result of bombings, starvations, and deliberate campaigns of mass murder. More than 50 nations took part in this war, which changed the world forever. In Asia and the Pacific, the Japanese armies invaded countries and islands. On December 7,1941, the Japanese planes bombed Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Within hours the U.S. Congress declared war against Japan, plunging the U.S. headfirst into World War II.
One way WW2 has changed us is positive.WW2 has shown us that when allies come together,we can stop evil even if it’s hard.It took the allies almost 6 years but it was ended .It has also showed us how outrageous people are,and why we should inspect our candidates so we can prevent other maniacal leaders, like Hitler, from rising to power.
World War One brought a completely new form of warfare. Gone were the old ways of cavalry and slow firing bolt-action rifles. The war symbolised a change in the way we understand and fight wars. Leon Trotsky said that ‘War is the locomotive of history’. This was certainly true. The war was a catalyst for change.
In 1939, the world was torn between the countries of the Allies, and the countries of the Axis. Some of the neutral countries were battlefields, but most of the intense fighting was originated within the continent of Europe.World War II led to millions of deaths, both civilians and soldiers. It caused economies to drop drastically, innocent people to be slayed, and tons of damage throughout the world. It caused many terrible things, but it also led to a few good things that have been made to help the world from having it happen again. World War II changed the world in many ways: from women’s rights, to increases in the population, to the way things are written, and to drastic increases of money influx.
In 1939 the world experienced a historical event that would have an impact on the world from that moment forward. This event affected the world in different ways. World War II may have brought death but new inventions and advancements were brought to life helping make a step forward into a better and healthier future.
Technology played a very important role in WWII and the ability to have certain technologies was key to winning on the battlefield for both the United States and its allies. Most of the technology used in WWII were based on already existing technology, however a lot of it was changed and modified due to lessons learned from WWI and these advancements in technology helped America and it allies greatly during WWII. Advancements in medicine, transportation, and weapons played a major factor in the success of America and its allies in WWII by giving an upper hand to soldiers. Technological advancements played a key role on and off the battlefield, helping secure victories that were necessary for defeating German and Japanese forces in both theaters of WWII. Advancements in technology occurred mostly through the fields of medicine, mechanized transportation, and weapons.
Another result of WWII was the use of technology during it and during the cold war. The first atomic bomb that were dropped were by the U.S on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. These weapons changed the characteristics of warfare and international relations up to this day. The cold war was identified by a nuclear standoff between the U.S and the USSR. Terrorist threatening to use nuclear weapons has become a major global truth. Another use of technology that has impacted us majorly is the jet aircraft. It was invented before the war but became practical during the war. The first jet to fly was the Heinkel He 178 which flew in 1939. But the first operational fighter was the Messerschmit ME-262 which was in service from 1944. The years after the war were
