World War 2

World War 2 started in 1939. It began when Hitler invaded poland to gain more land. The invasion of poland caused a chain reaction of countries joining the war because they had alliances. With war emerging around the world, it was important that the governments kept developing new technologies and strategies to keep up with the other countries. Countries began creating new vehicles, weapons, ways of communication. Many of the technological advancements created during this time are still used today. Some of the things that were created were argued to be inhumane and to never be used in warfare again. The introduction of automatic weapons in World War 2 changed warfare forever. In past wars and battles there were problems with the time it took to reload the weapon. The new weapons had magazines which hold high capacity amounts of bullets. A new type of weapon was created, it is called the bazooka. It was designed to shoot a rocket at a tank to disarm it from a safe range. Tanks were first used in World War 1 but weren’t that powerful. In World War 2 tanks improved by having radios in them for better communications. The tanks were equipped with advanced armor to protect the soldiers against the advanced weapons. Tanks were also equipped with a turret that was highly effective and could penetrate other tanks. World War 2 was the first war that used planes. The planes were used to drop powerful bombs to destroy important targets. Planes were equipped with powerful turrets and bombs. Smaller planes would fly with Bigger cargo planes and bombers to protect them. This often resulted in “dog fights” or air battle between other airplanes. Planes were continuously being modified to fly higher and faster. jfalk;jflsdahjgsahjglkasjkflsdajf;lksahgioajelkfj jew afjweoif jsalkf jwei fj elkajf iseajfi esjf sealfjewioajf selakfjles kjflea;jfeia;jfk laejfdj safje ifjeifj sadlkfj ieo;wjf sklgslafg hjwoeifjdslf jsai fje;i fjsdaklf jsaklf jsalgf ejwlijisafj iea jfieas jfisea
