Military Technology as a Peacekeeper

Content: The British introduce the first tanks to the battlefields of World War I.
1945: The first atomic bomb is tested in New Mexico in July. In August, bombs are dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. 1952: The first hydrogen bomb is detonated in the Marshall Islands. Instead of fission, the hydrogen bomb uses fusion, making it much more powerful. 1960: The laser is invented, which would later be used for missile targeting systems. Advancements in Technology Compared to Strategies
Advancements in military technology have a major impact on military strategies. There could have been no blitzkrieg ("lightning war") at the dawn of World War II, for example, without the advancements the German Wehrmacht had made in its Panzer tanks, combined with its decision to place those tanks in separate units rather than keeping them behind to support the infantry, as had been the norm until 1939.
