The new radar device was used to detect enemy planes ahead of time

Searchlights were used for the first time to guide and search for planes at night

New larger machine guns were developed to fire at airplanes.

Large ships that carried aircraft were used
Lots and lots of airplanes!!!!

BIG bomber planes were used to drop bombs in enemy targets
NOTICE THE OPEN HATCH?
![Page 12: Ww2 technologies and early battles](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546c67c5af7959ba0e8b5f35/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
This was a ‘fragmentation’ bomb and would splinter and cause huge damage to enemy
troops
![Page 13: Ww2 technologies and early battles](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546c67c5af7959ba0e8b5f35/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
New boats would carry men from the ships to the shore
![Page 14: Ww2 technologies and early battles](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546c67c5af7959ba0e8b5f35/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
These new water and land vehicles ‘tanks’ could travel across both with
ease!

The Japanese military used poison gases on the Chinese during World
War 2! Thousands died!
![Page 16: Ww2 technologies and early battles](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546c67c5af7959ba0e8b5f35/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Because so many were fearful of poison gas from the first world war, both sides refused to use it
against enemy troops. They knew if they used it, it would be used back on them.

The world’s first computers were developed in World War 2.
They were huge!

The most dangerous technology in World War 2 was a new
unbelievable new bomb being developed.
![Page 20: Ww2 technologies and early battles](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546c67c5af7959ba0e8b5f35/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The ‘atom’ bomb was being worked on by scientists on both sides. Whoever got it perfected first had a huge advantage.
![Page 21: Ww2 technologies and early battles](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546c67c5af7959ba0e8b5f35/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Atom bombs create a HUGE amount of energy when they
explode! • Atom bombs split the basic unit of matter-
the atom.

Albert Einstein was a famous scientist from Germany who happened to be a Jew who
escaped to the U.S.
![Page 23: Ww2 technologies and early battles](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546c67c5af7959ba0e8b5f35/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Einstein met with Roosevelt and told him the Germans were working on an
atom bomb!

The U.S. hurried to get top scientists to develop an atom
bomb!The U.S. super SECRET effort to build the
atom bomb was code-named the ‘Manhattan Project’.
They blew the first one up in New Mexico in the middle of the desert.
![Page 25: Ww2 technologies and early battles](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546c67c5af7959ba0e8b5f35/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The atom bomb exploding in the desert where no one lived! It was a success! The United States now had the world’s most powerful weapon!
