Warfare by type

chemical weapons in warfare, which is an incredibly controversial topic. And so, this article lead me to research chemical warfare. As I gathered my research, I realized that…

the Siege Warfare. They were one of the most effective weapons during the Siege Warfare. They were used by the Greeks, Romans, and Chinese. The first catapults were early attempts to increase the range and power of a crossbow (more advanced version of a crossbow). Diodorus Siculus was the first to document the use of the catapult or “mechanical arrow” in 399 B.C. Catapults were introduced into Europe during the middle ages. The French were the first…

One of the greatest changes that occurred in the strategy of warfare took place during the 20th century. This was the development and deployment of the airplane. The strategic prowess that airplanes provided during times of war was unprecedented. It was very different than all the other types of weaponry that was used during conflicts, such as ground troops, tanks and ships. This was because “the access [an airplane] provides makes it a faster, more flexible, and more precise than any other…

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…

explains that it did not cast doubt on the moral structure of the army and that they were less dependent on military institutions because they provided their own equipment for battle. The Vietnam soldier needed to depend more on the military because warfare has evolved significantly since the time of the ancient Greeks. In a review by Arthur G. Neal, he gives other examples of how themis was violated “superior officers that were incompetent, who sheltered themselves from the risks they exposed…

The Origin of the Tank The first tank ever created was built durin World War I in repsonse to many issues caused by trench warfare, which brought with its creation, a new era of mechanized war. When first produce tanks were slow and know to break down often, tanks greatly improved by the time World War II started. Development during World War I began with the Allies. France's first attempt was to create a machine to clear away the large amounts of barbed war that was strewn about the…

European battlefields of World War One, “armored units” or “panzers” have broken the deadlock of trench warfare and forced other ground-based elements to adapt to and utilize its implementation. It wasn’t until the Second World War that Panzers were fully utilized on the battlefield, primarily by the German Wehrmacht and SS. The Germans themselves were some of the fiercest combatants of modern warfare and implemented the use of panzers with specialized infantry resulting in combined arms…

World War I is seen as the dawn of modern chemical warfare, with multiple chemical agents being used on a large scale. The variety of poisonous gases resulted in 1,240,000 injuries and 91,000 fatalities. Chemical weapons in World War I were primarily used to subdue, injure, and kill enemy soldiers who were in the trenches, against whom the slow moving gas clouds would be most effective. The types of chemical warfare weapons dominated from debilitating chemicals, such as tear gas and the dreadful…

was located proved to be a very good place for many types of jobs. Hiroshima had become one of the best automobile developers, and built great ships ,and the people who lived there were good metal workers. The allied forces had gotten word from their intelligence agents that Hiroshima was building a big warship, so it became a target for the Allied forces.…

weapons, and my views on biological weapons. A biological weapon is also known as a germ weapon. This is when bacteria, viruses, fungi, or toxins can be used as a weapon against, animals, plants of humans. The use of infectious agents were used in warfare. Diseases were known to kill off more soldiers more than combat has. This tactic was used because it has the ability to kill or injure a humans with little to no effort. The history of genetics began many years ago according to Paradowski,…
