History:The Means of Destruction

     One of the readings I was asked to read for my FCIQ 101 class was " The Means of Destruction" which was about the history of the twentieth century, which talks about how technology has shaped this world through the use of technology and science. I believed that this was very true that technology is involved in massive weapons of destruction, wars, and many famous scientist at work in helping these type of events in being successful. Also, technology has helped both the U.S and Europe at the time in creating many new technology innovations such as the machine guns, atomic bombs by scientists, tanks,air crafts, and poison gases. Both sides were trying to be competitive in many innovation so a side could forfeit from the war to see which side had the best weapons of mass destruction in history. Also, which country in WWII would go down in history name for their leaders and how technology could cause such chaos in World Wars with human beings handling this type of high destruction. I was very intrigued how the technological innovations of many weapons had a very important role between the two opposite sides. Most of these innovations military had a very major part in fighting the war in support of a lot of ammunition. Many scientist worked on nuclear weapons and  bombs with a lot of funds from the government in the use of science in this part. As well as making a weapon where it will devastate the opposite side more was the key. During this century it had a major turn in its technological innovations for a war which made it into a factory instead as being an actual country.
