How did the technological advances during WW2 prolong the Cold War?
WW2 is so interesting to me because of how they had the most similar technology to what we have today. The plane, nuclear, and computational technology sectors were all fast tracked because of the immediate need for war technology. This, however, had many consequences as the war after WW2 was far larger in scale and in length.
The technology developed during WW2 prolonged the life of the Cold War because of the nuclear efforts, vehicle research, and rocketry programs that occurred during WW2. The most interesting aspect of this entire research project is the fact that all topics point towards nuclear efforts. The vehicles that were produced before and after WW2 included the nuclear technology that we still use today. This was a huge improvement over conventional ways of moving. The rocketry programs of both the US and the Soviets all had one goal in mind. That was to launch a nuclear warhead at each other and make the bigger missile. No matter from what angle you look at it, nuclear technology was the driving force behind it.

WWII intriguers me as well! Your topic is very cool because it focuses in on the technology.
ReplyDeleteI too like to learn more about WWII, and your big gave me a start. It was cool how you mentioned all the weapons they used.
ReplyDeleteI'm so proud of you! You seem like you honestly know what you're talking about on this topic. Have you thought about collaborating with someone who has the topic of Hitler?
