Innovation of weapons in WWII
etween 1939 and 1945, WWII brought many innovations and inventions to the world. New countries, organizations, weapons, and technological advances were produced. The three that had the maximum impact on the war were the invention of the radar, aircraft, and the atomic bomb because of their effective uses.
T
he radar was used to determine where a distant object was, how big it was, what shape it had, how fast it was moving and in which direction it was going. When Germany sent 2,000 planes every night for two solid months to try to gain control of the skies by destroying Britain’s nuclear air force, British pilots accurately plotted the flight paths of German planes, even in the darkness, due to the radar. A ircraft impacted WWII in a major way, it was the main weapon. Fighter aircraft of World War II featured all the innovations of the 1930sPlanes were used in WWII because they were fast and because they could attack on land and sea. Planes impacted the history of the world because they were used to attack Britain by the Germans, they were used on the attack on Pearl Harbor and they were used to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Planes played a significant role because they were the major attacking utensil used in this war. T he atomic bomb wasn’t used so much but it created more damage than planes and it ended war. The Fission bomb impacted the world because it exterminated Hiroshima and Nagasaki, killing about 140.000 thousand people and injuring thousands. These bombs created Thermal radiation, which results from the extremely high temperatures created by an atomic explosion, causes serious burns on exposed parts of the body and may ignite fires over a wide radius. This atomic bombs were important because they ended war, killed thousands of people, and because they made Japan surrender. M ost people don’t realize how much these innovations affected the war. They determined how the war was fought and the outcome of it. Today, many innovations improve and others are being created as new wars come. Just a simple weapon or an invention could change the world as we know it.
