trajectory, and time of detonation (Technology of War). Aircrafts are also suited with stealth technology from Germany that helps conceal the aircraft and increases accuracy for a successful attack. Many of these aircrafts include the F-35 Lightning II, F-22 Raptor, and the B-2 Spirit (Chow). Technology has made leaps and bounds since the early 1900’s and is continuing to grow…

The United States became somewhat imperialistic to an extent that their only motives were to gain raw materials, military strategic purposes, and to join a greater market sell their manufactured goods. Before the turn of the 20th century the united states were still trying to conquer their own continent. The united states were not thinking about overseas empires. It wasn’t until after the war of 1898 when America gained interest in colonial empires. The outcome of this war lead to the United…

The Causes of World War 1/ the Great War The Great War, or what most people know it as World War 1, was an extremely bloody war that took place in Europe from 1914-1919. World War 1 caused an estimated of 10 million soldier deaths and 20 million more wounded. Finally, at the end of 1918, the Versailles Treaty was signed by the countries taking part in the war, Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary, Britain, France and Russia, which was a treaty that ended the state of war between Germany and the…

The effects of World War I, or ‘The Great War’, on Germany were very detrimental to the nation socially and economically. World War I was a series of battles fought from mid 1914 to late 1918, and involved many nations. During the war German daily life was vastly impacted, especially in terms of food and raw material shortages. In the middle of World War I the German economy felt immense pressures and women and the youth became a valuable part of the workforce. After the Germans ‘lost’ the war…

and technology have always been necessary for the advancements of nation-states throughout history. Additionally both science and technology play extensive roles in the progression of the Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution and World War I and II. In the Enlightenment science and technology helped establish the heliocentric theory, Newton’s laws of motion and the law of gravitation. The Industrial Revolution focused on the transition from wood to metal and farming to industrialization. The…

The decision to drop an atomic bomb on the cities of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, respectively, was, simply put, a foolish, rash, and depraved action that could be classified as a diplomatic blunder, among other things; certainly it could not be seen as either a military necessity or a scientific experiment: for scientists already knew enough about their project to determine the consequences, at least in the short term, such that if the dropping was an experiment, it was the most morally depraved one…

I stumbled across an article on CNN.com about a Japanese Zero pilot in World War II lamenting the war and his country’s role in it. One point made in the article that caught my attention was “Harada said his main concern is that as his war generations dies out, decisions about Japan’s future will rest with younger people who have only known peace and never experienced the horrors of war” (Wright, 2015). That is a sobering thought and equally applicable here in the United States along with the…

sides fell into a stalemate. This is perhaps when a third world war looked imminent. Much like Japan at the end of World War II, the North Korean army had been driven back into their own territory, yet refused to surrender. They could not come to a peaceful agreement, and the U.S. dropping a bomb on North Korea would have the same effect as it had on Japan at the end of World War II. However, instead of ending a war, it would have started one. The USSR also has nuclear weapons, and if the U.S.…

When you think of the devastating warfare of World War I and World War II you probably believe that these wars have a lot in common as far as warfare goes. Involving self-consumed leaders with their anarchy methods involving politics that ultimately lead to the violence of warfare and terrorism. Primarily, World War I and World War II are unique in their own ways and they both are surprisingly different from each other and dissimilar from a lot of other involving warfare conflicts over the…

The Day That Flashed By, And Then Again During the second World War many inhumane things were done, which made this war one of the worst in history. On August 6th, 1945, Hiroshima became victim to the first atomic bomb deployed by The United States. The bomb immediately killed tens of thousands of people; many more would later die of radiation exposure. Three days later a second deployed bomb was dropped on Nagasaki killing an estimated, forty thousand people. With these bombings, thousands…
