The main technological advancements during World War II were the atomic bomb, jet aircraft, Asdic (sonar), radar, and the first computer. There are many others, however one of the advancements that has the greatest impact on our world today would be the atomic bomb/nuclear energy. The nuclear bomb is what helped end the war because it scared Japan into surrendering to the United Staes. We currently use nuclear energy around the world to produce a huge amount of energy. Nuclear bombs impact our world greatly today as well. Now many countries have nuclear bombs other than the U.S.A which is not good in cases like the the Cold War. Although World War II was tragic and many lives were lost, we now benefit from many of the technological advancements that were made for the original purpose of warfare. For example, jet engines now help us travel around the world quickly. Overall, many different technological advancements have been very useful in World War II and have even provided our world today with valuable technologies.
