The New Technology of
WWII
By: Alana Vinogradov & Christie Xiong
Advancement in Technology:
● New higher tech was invented by the nations involved in
WWII.
● Many new weapons and computers were created by
warring countries in order to conquer their enemies.
Results of Technology Advancement:
● World War II was a battle for leadership and land, but it
was also a competition on who could advance
technology the best.
● It was such a competition because those countries with
the better technology had an advantage over those with
weaker technology.
● New technology from WWII played a part in the
advancement of industrialization to many nations
around the world.
Examples of New Technology From WWII:
● Radar - Large ground satellite structures that released
waves that would locate nearby things.
● Rockets - Missiles. Germans created the V-1 and V-2
rockets which were used quite often during the war.
● Flamethrowers - Portable fire.
● Napalm - Gas that burns skin.
Examples on How Technology Was Used During
WWII:
● America used flame throwers and smoke screens to
advance on their enemies.
● After Hitler gave up on persuading Great Britain to sign
a peace treaty, Hitler decided to Invade G.B., but with
Britain’s Radar advancements, it was easy to detect
Germany’s moves.
Effects of New Technology
● With new technology being created, material was being
used for that. So many civilian things started being made
out of plastic to save resources for the war.
● New technology made the war so much more dangerous
due to all of the newer more powerful weaponry that
soldiers were using.
● More casualties occurred due to how much easier it was
for people to injure others with new technology.
● The war lasted longer because new technology helped
each side improve their odds of winning.
