I'm trying to get a brief explanation of how planes,gas techniques, tanks- (world war 1), radars and anti-radars (world war 2), helicopters, chemical warfare (cold war)... i'm very confused. how has this kind of technology changed/improved since world war one. can you also include an example to compare with so that it is much easier to understand.
How has the technology (in all ways) in the nature of warfare changed since world war 1?
The simple answer is that just about every weapon we use now is faster than the WW1 version. WW1 tanks went about 3 - 4 mph. Modern tanks can go 50 - 60 mph. A modern fighter jet can go over 10 times faster than a WW1 fighter airplane. Rifles in WW1 were bolt action, you had to move a bolt between each shot. Modern rifles are almost all automatic. They fire bullets much faster.
Radar and helicopters didn't exits in WW1. Radar started just before World War 2, helicopters just after WW2. They did use poison gas (chemical warfare) in WW1, but it wasn't a very effective weapon.
