|The first modern era war, World War I introduced new weapons that signaled the end of empires and became the basis for the deadlier evolutionary weapons to be seen in all future conflicts.
|Considered the "Last Good War", World War II, while one of the most devastating wars in history, was also the driving force for change in politics, technology, medicine and transportation.
|Declared a "Police Action" by some, make no mistake, the Korean War was an ugly and brutal war fueled by opposing political ideologies with future implications for the entire World.
|American forces enter into an ongoing 30-year civil war; a guerilla war, with no clear battle lines or combatants and where success is measured, not in feet, but in total body counts.
|The alliance of convenience between the US and the USSR begins to freeze as World War II winds down into a new reality; The Cold War and battle between Democracy and Communism.
|The ultimate 'Big Gun' in warfare, the 'Superpowers' scramble to develop, test and in two cases launch Weapons Of Mass Destruction upon an enemy populace during wartime.
Vita vya kwanza vya kisasa, Vita vya Kwanza vya Ulimwengu, vilianzisha silaha mpya ambazo zilionyesha mwisho wa milki na zikawa msingi wa silaha za maadili za maadili ambazo zilionekana katika migogoro yote ya baadaye. "Kama ""Vita vya Mwisho vya Haki,"" Vita vya Pili vya Ulimwengu, wakati vita moja ya uharibifu zaidi katika historia, pia ilikuwa nguvu ya kuendesha mabadiliko katika siasa, teknolojia, dawa na usafiri." """Hakuna kosa, Vita vya Korea vilikuwa vita vya uovu na ukatili vilivyochochewa na itikadi za kisiasa zinazopingana na athari za baadaye kwa ulimwengu mzima." """Jeshi la Marekani linaingia katika vita vya wenyewe kwa wenyewe vya miaka 30; vita vya wapiganaji, bila mipaka ya vita au wapiganaji wazi na ambapo mafanikio yanapimwa, sio kwa miguu, lakini kwa jumla ya idadi ya miili." Muungano wa urahisi kati ya Marekani na USSR unaanza kufungia wakati Vita vya Pili vya Ulimwengu vinapozidi kugeuka kuwa ukweli mpya; Vita Baridi na vita kati ya Demokrasia na Ukomunisti. 'Big Gun' ya mwisho katika vita, 'Superpowers' scramble kuendeleza, mtihani na katika kesi mbili kuzindua Silaha za Uharibifu wa Wingi juu ya watu wa adui wakati wa vita.
