Technology during World War II played a crucial role in determining the outcome of the greatest war of all. Much of it had begun development during the interwar years of the 1920s and 1930s, some was developed in response to lessons learned during the war, and yet more was only beginning to be developed as the war ended. The massive research and development demands of the war had a great impact on the scientific community. Given the scope of the war and the rapid technological escalation which happened during the war, a vast array of technology was employed, as different nations and different units found themselves equipped with different levels of technology. Military technology developments spanned across all areas of industry. After the war ended, these developments led to new sciences like cybernetics
Almost all types of technology were utilized, although main areas of technology which saw major developments were:
Weaponry; including ships, vehicles, aircraft, artillery, rocketry, small arms, and biological, chemical and atomic weapons.
Logistical support; including vehicles necessary for transporting soldiers and supplies, such as trains, trucks, and aircraft.
Communications and intelligence; including devices used for navigation, communication, remote sensing and espionage.
Medicine; including surgical innovations, chemical medicines, and techniques
Industry; including the technologies employed at factories and production/distribution centers.
Thanks to War many people now enjoy a better life
and live longer then before..
