COMPARISON

& CONTRAST

WORLD WAR 1 & WORLD WAR 2



World War 1 and World War 2, two wars that change the world
forever. Two wars that are different from one another by the time, their
technology, by the nations involved in them, and more. But at the same
time, some of the events that happened before, during, and after both
wars would sound similar.

In World War 1 the Germans had found a way around a treaty that
was made before the war saying that no country is allowed to use
poison gases in cannon shells. So the Germans put gas tanks along the
trenches and let the wind blow the gas towards the allies. And when
getting ready for the next war they found a way around a treaty that
was made after the first world war saying that they couldnt have any
advance weapons technology or more than 100,000 troops.
So while Germany was rebuilding their army in secret, they purchased
guns and other equipment from other countries.

Both wars saw experimented weapons technology to determine
one nation more advance than the others. Like World War 1 saw tests in
building fighter planes, tanks, armored cars, battleships, and
submarines. Like British would build the first tanks, make battleships
for their navy and others like Japan, the French would build the first
tank with a 360-degree traverse, and the Germans would make some of
the best planes during the war. And during the Second world war these
countries along with a few others would be the best in weapons
technology in the world.

Even though with all of these events and technology can sound the
same, they are separated by their results and who was involved. Like
when the Germans used poison gases during World War 1, they used
them against the allies trenches. And before World War 2 when
Germany was secretly buying weapons and other equipment from other
countries it was to rebuild their army so that they can be able to take
over their neighboring countries and after that the whole world and not
just use these weapons on soldiers, but civilians to.

When World War 1 broke out and the first tanks and planes came
out, they were not that useful. Like the planes were affective, but they
could only be in the sky from one to two and a half hours. And tanks had
the main guns fixed to the hull, so they could only point one way and

they could go from three to eight miles an hour. And with planes from
WW1 they were propeller aircraft. And when the second world war
broke out planes could fly for almost half a day and there were two
types of aircraft propeller and jet aircraft. And tanks could look a full
360-degrees with the main gun and could go from 20 to 80 miles an
hour. Plus when the war started Germany had the best planes and tanks
in the world, and not Britain and France.

In conclusion people can look up and read about both wars and
see that they are just as alike as they are different. By the peoples
actions, weapons and technology development, battle events, etc. Two
war that much more details than I could explain in a year.
