Trebuchet: A machine used in medieval siege warfare for hurling large stones or other missiles. This is one of the most important and game changing weapon of all time. When the trebuchet is fired, the weight box falls and the force of gravity causes rotational acceleration of the attached throwing arm around the axle (the fulcrum of the lever). The throwing arm is usually four to six times the length of the counterweight portion. These factors multiply the acceleration transmitted to the…

World War 1 was time in our history that changed our lives forever with all the things happen at this time.

and supporting artillery. When conducting offensive operations, Iraq routinely supported the attacks with deep fires and integrated chemical fires on forward defenses, command posts, artillery positions, and logistical facilities. During the Iran-Iraq War, Iraq developed the ability to produce, store, and use chemical weapons. These chemical weapons included H-series blister and G-series nerve agents. Iraq built these agents into various offensive munitions including rockets, artillery shells,…

The advent of nuclear weapon was paramount in the arms race between the Union of Soviet Republics (USSR) and the United States (US) during the Cold War. During the WWII, the US, Britain, Germany and the USSR were all engaged in scientific research to develop the atomic bomb.(US Department of state office of the historian,n.d) The development of the nuclear weapon by US through the Manhattan Project in 1942 and follow up of Soviet’s successful test of nuclear weapon soon after is a major…

Otto Hahn was a German chemist who discovered fission, fission is the action of dividing or splitting something into two or more parts. When Hahn discovered nuclear fission he unintentionally discovered how to create an atomic bomb. Hahn discovered nuclear fission by having a speed neutron hit a uranium atom, the uranium atom spit. When the speeding neutron hit the nucleus of the uranium atom the atom stretched until it split. Before this, Niels Bohr had a theory that a nucleus must be “like…

assured destruction prevented an outbreak of nuclear warfare during the Cold War. The stance against the employment of nuclear weapons arose from shifting norms in international society, as states were prompted to dedicate themselves to preventative war. Additionally, it was challenged whether the enormously devastating impact of nuclear weapons was ethically sound and whether it could be effectively used militarily. The notion that there was no winner to a nuclear war, however, predominately…

Nuclear Weapons What has the power to destroy cities and end the world ("Nuclear Weapons” (1))? What has the power to start and prevent wars ("Mutual Assured Destruction")? These machines begin with a huge cloud of fire and leave behind a mess of destruction. These machines shake the ground and sent light and debris in a shockwave that destroys everything in sight without ever touching the ground. These death machines are called nuclear weapons, and thousands of these weapons exist.…

countries to create modern economies and eventually become imperial powers. World War I and II both were concentrated on the weaponry. World war I introduced “machine guns, modern artillery and railroads” to the nineteenth century. World War II took a lot of ideas from World War I and intensified them. They also created nuclear weapons, which only were used in World War II. Collectively, these periods are crucial for how the world is shaped…

extremely tense internationally, especially between the United States and North Korea. The United States had the fear North Korea would be testing not only ballistic missiles but conducting nuclear tests. The United States government has been on its toes speculating that North Korea will begin launching its sixth nuclear-weapons test soon. The United States have tested their own intercontinental ballistic missiles, and also currently sending aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson to the Korean…
