Which two examples of modern military technology had the greatest impact on the course of World War I?

History
1 answer:
Dahasolnce [82]3 years ago
6 0

Technology during World War I (1914-1918) reflected a trend toward industrialism and the application of mass-productionmethods to weapons and to the technology of warfare in general. This trend began at least fifty years prior to World War Iduring the American Civil War of 1861-1865,[1] and continued through many smaller conflicts in which soldiers and strategists tested new weapons.

One could characterize the earlier years of the First World War as a clash of 20th-century technology with 19th-century warfare in the form of ineffective battles with huge numbers of casualties on both sides. On land, only in the final year of the war did the major armies made effective steps in revolutionizing matters of command and control and tactics to adapt to the modern battlefield and start to harness the myriad new technologies to effective military purposes. Tactical reorganizations (such as shifting the focus of command from the 100+ man company to the 10+ man squad) went hand-in-hand with armored cars, the first submachine guns, and automatic rifles that a single individual soldier could carry and use.

How was infrastructure used in the 1800s by europeans in India and Africa?
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

The growth of the African population was aided by the Western medicine introduced by Europeans. Africans were introduced to formal education by Europeans. They also improved the African infrastructure with the addition of road systems, railroads, water, electricity, and communication systems.

In both cases the colonizing European powers introduced new infrastructure in order to benefit themselves economically. This infrastructure was intended to increase trade by exploiting the native country for goods and easily transporting them to port cities.

From the late 1800s through the early 1900s, Western Europe pursued a policy of imperialism that became known as New Imperialism. By the 1870, it became necessary for European industrialized nations to expand their markets globally in order to sell products that they could not sell domestically on the continent.

denis23 [38]

The right answer is C) Edward Braddock. Major General Edward Braddock (1695-1755) was commander-in-chief at the beginning of the French and Indian War (1754-1763) and, in 1755, he led a massive expedition aimed at capturing Fort Duquesne, in Pennsylvania, which had been built by the French. The expedition, however, was a failure, and Braddock died at the Battle of the Monongahela  - also known as Braddock's Defeat - that ensued.

Predict how the economic changes during the roaring twenties could possible lead to an economic disaster
mezya [45]

The Roaring Twenties was a great golden age in America, but ironically, led to its greatest downfall.

Lots of new things became popular among all Americans in the 20's; automobiles, radio, silent movies, etc. People were spending money left and right on these things, and were becoming very materialized. So why am I talking about Americans buying boatloads of stuff they didn't need? Well, this was one of the prime causes of the Great Depression. Americans started buying on margin, or buying with credit; buy now, pay later. People bought so much like this, that they had to borrow lots of money from the banks. As this went on, it built up slowly, and led into buying stocks on margin. This eventually led to the Stock Market Crash of 1929. As people ran to the banks to withdraw all their money, the banks failed, and people lost all their savings in the blink of an eye. Manufacturers soon started producing less and laying off workers as jobs became a demand, and ended up causing the intense unemployment rates throughout the country. And finally, farmers suffered as a massive drought hit the Mississippi Valley in 1930, which created the infamous Dust Bowl.
