How World War II technology has affected the United States
Introduction
Over the past years, machinery of war has always been a struggle over an antagonistic edge. This is only achievable though governments that are ready and committed to spend on research and development. Wars are likely to speed up technological innovation as witnessed in the United States during World War II. Even though in the history of the United States there has been much technological advancement, without the involvement of the United States in World War II, it could have not successful bring the war to an end. Warfare technology or machinery has excelled to unlimited possibilities due to technological knowhow and advancements. Some of these possibilities include the invention of the atomic bomb, nautical submarines, and top-secret code breaking enigmas employed to change the United States’ tactic towards approaching wars.
The Atomic Bomb and its Development
The Manhattan Project established with the mission of protecting the United Sates
American techno-scientific innovations were treated as extremely powerful components during the World War II and most of their undertakings were not subject to disclosure. The dramatic “high-tech” sector was instrumental in fighting during World War II. For example, a project known as Manhattan was launched to help in the creation of atomic weapons. The Manhattan project was both a direct and massive result of a stunning technological and scientific breakthrough. This project contributed to the administration of nuclear chain reaction through a team of scientists in various universities in 1942. Following a direction by the US Army and other several private contractors, engineers, scientists, and developers joined hand to build nationwide complex of laboratories. These laboratories carried various test to help them manufacture atomic fuels and also in fabrication of atomic weapons. Through this network, various
