Nuclear weapons will never be used in a real war between two equally matched forces, as it hasn't even been used in various small/bush wars such as Iraq and Vietnam. I think it's a useless weapon, and a very dangerous one at that too. Imagine the power one lunatic could have if they got one. On the other hand, you couldn't use it in a real war because that would essentially guarantee your own destruction, as you could never be 100% sure you can eliminate every country's nukes. It's a scary weapon, and we haven't seen the last of it yet...

WWI had the introduction of machine guns and flame throwers.  they also used "trench warfare."  soldiers would dig long, deep trenches in the ground for protection, and would keep digging layers of trenches to get closer to the enemy lines.  some slow planes were used in WWI, but it wasn't until WWII that had actual dogfights.  WWII also had nuclear bombs (the US dropping them on Hiroshima and Nagasaki), and pipe bombs (used when storming the beaches of Normandy, like in Saving Private Ryan).  The Korean War was a transitional period to guerilla warfare that was featured in the Vietnam Conflict.  In Vietnam they also used Napalm (bombs that would burst into flames and burn the jungles, along with its victims) by dropping these bombs from airplanes, along with agent orange.  The Cold War was basically espionage and an arms race.  It started around the time of JFK (1960-63) with the failed Bay of Pigs Invasion and the Cuban Missile Crisis (if you like movies, check out Thirteen Days, an HBO movie with Kevin Costner).  Basically between the 1960s and 1989, the US and former Soviet Union tried to see who can make the biggest arsenal of nuclear warheads.  You can look any of this information up at wikipedia.  they have a lot of good information, but make sure you try and check it with something else because they do have a lot of misleading stuff, especially in history.

Are you serious?  Why would you bring a Knife (Sword) to a Gun fight. Archers??? Get real people carry automatic weapons (Guns)  these days . And if you mean calvary like in the old days with horses; why?  Why would subject a living animal to this when you can use armored vehicles, tanks and helos.  Vehicles don't get tired they break down but u just replace parts and there ready to go again.  Beside panzee animal lovers would never let horses go into harm's way

Gatling guns were used by the US side during the Spanish-American War, most notably during the battle of San Juan Hill. Some 31 gatling guns in all were purchased by the US Army before the war ended.

Because the new weapons of battle made it necessary to alter battle tactics that had universally been based on napoleans battles. these tactics had been effective until the Civil War. They were initially used by the North & South, which is why so many men died. Old tactics vs. Modern weapons was a lose-lose situation & new tactics had to be developed. Since this war was the 1st to use new weapons & new tactics, it by definition became the Modern War

the answer is in the army files of every nation that ever had a war.\nmachine guns spit out bullets very fast. Or I suspect the old Tommy gun in the 20s' was the one. Gangsters perhaps in Chicago.\n\ngl

one source ws from the former soviet union...after that fell apart many former soviet officials started peddling off their stuff like a yard sale on the black market.  I would guess a lot comes to them through Syria who gets them from russia and china.  You are right Jennifer.  There are international arms dealers who don't care who they sell to...some have lived right here in the U.S.  In wwII there were people who were American citizens who actually sold equipment to Hitler.  I'm sure it continues and that is a disgrace.

I don't know where the current battle rifle is being made but I thought it was being made by the Brits. Before this current rifle they were buying there rifles of the Belgiums who produced the FN-FAL series of rifles. The current Brit rifle is probabaly one of the best rifles ever made as it is customized to each soldlier.

Belgium produced some of the best (and still do) weapons in the world.Their Browning automatic was highly prized by the Germans (more reliable than the P.08) The Czechs also made great weapons that the Germans used. yes these countries produced weapons during the occupation.

Yes, they had used it but only once in world war two. They dropped the bomb in 1945.

1. The fellows on airplanes used to say goodbye to their enemies at first. Those were very small planes used only as a reconaissance. Afterwards, some bastard attached a machine gun to the plane, and they were not friends anymore.\n\n2. Due to that War, Germany invented the Panzer (Tank) and the British invented the Jeep.\n\n3. The Krupp Dinasty became the wealthiest people on the planet. They were selling weapons to any country, including the allies, and by the way, they were german.\n\n4. America became a major world superpower with that war, a peer of the biggest of Europe.\n\n5. Just after WW1 finished, Apocalypse appeared: the infamous Spanish Influenza. This epidemic killed more people and soldiers than all the people killed with the war.\n\n6. The first encounter with chemical warfare. Germans used to throw Sarin and or Chloride gas to their enemies, blinding them and sending them to the other world with the worst excruciating pains you can imagine.\n\n7. The Germans stopped using the ridiculous spikes on their helmets, but the helmet (without the spikes) was adopted by everyone.\n\n8. The american soldiers were called doughboys.\n\n9. France had their vengeance against the Germans, because previously some years before Prussia (that was the name of Germany on that time) beat the shit out of them in 1870. And the same person, Krupp, gave the arms in that war.\n\nSee ya, buddy...

The primary advances were the airplane, submarine, machine gun, tank, and posionous gas.  The machine gun made the frontal assault very costly thus trenches were used to protect the soldiers.  These trenches were also lived in, which produced rat infestation, constantly wet conditions, and poor sanitation.  All of these will contribute to the spread of disease and trench foot which sometimes resulted in amputation and even death. To attack the machine guns the tank was developed and although early models were notoriously unreliable their use in the final months contributed to the Allied victory.  Poison gas will kill, cripple, and blind thousands.  Airplanes initially used only for scouting will later develop into fighters against other planes and bombers.  This will lead to some of the best known participants of the war and the glory of being a pilot (Red Baron, Rickenbaker).  Finally the submarine will spread the war to innocents on passenger ships and slow commerce to England and from the United States.  More importantly it was the German use of Unrestricted submarine Warfare (along with the Zimmerman note) that brought the US into the war.  It was the infusion of large numbers of Americans with their aggressive fighting ability that will be the deciding factor in the Allied victory.

Simple, the arms industry. Tanks, Guns, planes, bullets, first aid supplies, food makers, toilet paper makers. War is the world's biggest industry. Then after the war they will have to rebuild. That will be a Bonanza. You wait and see.
