Some of the prominent top 3 technologies that helped to end World War II included things like nuclear bombs, aircraft, and the mass and effective production of things like tanks, guns, and even ammunition. The most obvious weapons of which, the atomic /nuclear bombs, were blatantly used to end the war. Its destructive power was so overwhelming that neither sides wanted to engage in a war that included such weapons. Which would, in the future lead to things like the cold war and many countries racing to get their hands on as many nuclear weapons as they could to be used as political end power bargaining chips. However, with the powerful display in Hiroshima, the USA and allies came out on top. Another technological front was aircraft. With such technology just being developed, the war pushed it forward many decades as the skies became obvious advantages due to its openness and the current lack of competition. which of course when that position of competition was filled, those on the defending side had no choice but to confront and keep up with the threat flying above them. And lastly, the ability to mass produce and distribute effective supplies to troops became vital in the USA and allies victory. This is because in many fronts the opposing forces would often have more advanced or overpowering technology. However, the Allied Forces were able to compete with and in some cases be victorious over the opposing sides due to their sheer overwhelming amount of resources. even if the technology that they had or could be supplied was not as great as their enemies, they were still effective and made a massive difference in the war effort. Showing the sheer power of both knowledge and technology. It is undoubtedly that what occurred during World War II could be described as nothing less than atrocious. This hideous word applies to both sides in the war. From the mass genocide of hundreds of thousands of people, to the soldiers who fought and lost their lives, or the innocent people bombed, it was all atrocious. The use of technology to achieve this and the orders from leaders to use them reflect the dark times. Also seen reflected in the development and testing of the atom and hydrogen bombs in the Pacific Ocean. Including the Moananuiākea that were affected in the Bikini Atoll and Pearl harbor. Although taking place more than half a century ago the effects of which can still be seen to this day! As both food and water have to be imported into the area for health reasons, which affects many of the people who live there today. From my understanding, despite these people and their current struggles, they didn't even receive justice for the initial event. Perhaps it could have been left for the history books. However due to the fact that it impacts the people that live there to this very day in both health and quality of life this is yet another cause that needs fighting for. That needs to be remembered.
