Various new advances included artillery equipped with hydraulic mechanisms, new shells, machine guns, and gas. Artillery equipped with new hydraulic mechanisms meant that they could absorb more recoil and did not have to be repositioned after every shot. The new shells that were shot contained a propellant and timing devices that could be aimed more accurately and rapidly. It was the artillery that killed more people than any other weapon recorded. Tanks were also another advancement in World War I that caused many problems.…
The soldiers were trained to ride on the battlefield on horses and charge the enemy with bayonets. The emerging technology in the First World War includes mechanized transport such as tank, chemical weapons like phosgene gas, and upgrades to current technology such as metal boats instead of wooden. The problem with the new technology is that neither side had the officers experienced in new technology to effectively train the soldiers to use it or defend against it. The soldiers in the First World War were fighting in a new kind of war that they had to adapt to as…
This is shown by the appearance of the bomber planes, gases, and newly developed artillery, also tanks. Britain who were late to use ww2 technology this shown by Percy Hobart who imagined these tanks from hell before the British army. Other technology like aircrafts, gases and artillery had a large impact on ww2. This is supported by the effect of tanks, whom destroyed trench war; Gases (phosgene, mustard, and chlorine) which killed or severely injured over 250,000; Aircraft Glide bombs the first "smart bombs", such as the Fritz X anti-shipping missile, had a wire or radio remote control; the world's first jet fighter, the world's first working military helicopters the world's first rocket powered fighter. This also led to tactics like blitzkrieg by Germany and the continuous bombing by…
This provided rapid shots for the man protecting himself and were extremely convenient. Another major advancement in World War I was the use of submarines. Submarines were also known as U-Boats in the Great War and held torpedoes to sink ships of the enemy. The Germans used subs to attack the Lusitania, the British ship that help prestigious Americans, which is one of the reason’s the US joined the war toward the end. In addition, aircrafts were a huge development for war.…
Evolution of medicine By: Latia and Alyssa When the United States entered the war in 1917, there were no medical corps established. During the war, the US army copied medical tactics the french had used for the past three years in order to keep the troops healthy enough to fight. This system arranged military medical staff in a practical manner. The medics would come to the trenches with their stretchers and give the wounded treatment aid that often saved lives.…
In places like Tsardom, Bulgaria they used handguns, rifles, submachine guns like ZK-383, which was produced in small numbers during the war time period. Finally, they also used machine guns like the madsen machine gun. Different latin countries in America often used different types of machinery during war. In the United States of Brazil people also used shotguns like the winchester 1897. The people of Bulgaria did not use shotguns but just other…
Weapons during the war expanded vastly and they even started to use chemical warfare. Some examples of weapons they used were machineguns, mustard gas, tanks, and one of the most important would be airplanes. Airplanes were a very important part of the war because it helped the war by bring supplies to warzones and even dropping bombs on the enemy. A good thing came out of the use of airplanes in the war though, it introduced the use of carrying people in planes. That then became used in the states which began the use of airliners to get place to place, making it easier and faster to get from point A to point…
This war also introduced many new types of weapons never before used much in any war…
Ethan Lupo American History Honors Mr. Hughes United States and the Difference in Their Trade Relations America between the Civil War up to right after World War I was able to help both Britain and France in the trade industry in ways that varied greatly due to the different economic standpoints of both countries, the differences in dealings in both wartime periods, and the advancements in technology as time moved forward. For France and Britain, there were similarities in trade relations since Europe was very intertwined with the United States and some of their resources like cotton were heavily dependent on trade with the South. This necessity during the Civil War is still noticeable throughout the first World War as well, but with different resources being more dominant such as manpower since instead of needing cotton, France and Britain both needed soldiers since they were fighting in a…
Marx and Huxley In Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World the fundamental concepts in the “perfect society” where social stability, social control, class struggle, and religion. Karl Marx a German philosopher and social critic, whose ideas about control, communism, and class structure can easily be interpreted in Huxley’s Brave New World. Marxist ideas were essential for the “perfect society”. Marxism is the theory of class struggle, economics, and materialism in any given society.…
Imagine living in a world where no human oppresses another. Imagine living in a world where no one is poor and no one is rich. Imagine living in a world where the social class system is non-existent. Karl Marx, a 19th century philosopher, foresaw the image of this apparent communist utopia forming in every society; he expected the maltreated working classes to fight back against those who have immense, misused power. He believed that material possessions have a powerful enough influence on our lives to be considered the sole reason of historical change.…
The technology used in World War 1 set it apart from previous wars. The course of the war determined the investments of the warring nations into technology and ordinances. Millions died needlessly because military and civilian leaders were slow to adapt their old-fashioned strategies and tactics to the new weapons of 1914. New technology made war more horrible and more complex than ever before. The three main technological advancements where firstly, chemical warfare through the use of poison gas, which burned and blistered skin and destroyed the respiratory system as well as having inflicted widespread fear among the soldiers; secondly, the invention of tanks, which were devised to counter the frustrating, stalemate of trench warfare by providing…
Truth be told, it would be fair to say that our group agreed on little and argued on much. The majority of our analysis of the Marxist lens was launched into into orbit around the first question posed: “Did the bourgeoisie maintain their dominance over the masses after the witch hunts had concluded?” Citing the quotation “ To all intents and purposes, the power of theocracy in Massachusetts was broken” (Miller, Act One, 125) Immediately two different viewpoints immerged, the decisive, albeit simplistic, yes and no.…
At first glance, the storyline of The Metamorphosis seems to be a novella of Gregor, the protagonist, who wakes up one morning from an unsettling dream to find himself transformed into a monstrous vermin. Underlyingly with a Karl Marx’s economic perspective, this short novel portrays a metaphor that gives this unpractical semblance a great deal of relevance to the structure of society. Marxism is the concept that the abolition of social classes is essential for an ideal society to happen. By examination of this storyline from a Marxist view, it is clear that The Metamorphosis, by Franz Kafka, reveals that the hidden theme is the conflict between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie. In this situation, it is shown that Gregor represents the…
Introduction: Good morning teacher and my fellow students, today I will present to you all my speech topic: World War 2; a war that involved 12 countries and probably one of the bloodiest wars in all of history; a war that changed the world forever. Subtopic 1: When and How did World War 2 Start? World War 2 began on September 1, 1939; the Germans planned an unprovoked attack on Poland, then Britain and France got involved after Adolf Hitler – the German leader of the Nazis – refused to abort his attack on Poland which developed the warfare of Europe. Another reason was the Marco Polo bridge incident, which lead to warfare between China and Japan.…
