What were the technological and the economic factors that impacted the United States military during the World War II?

The United States military was impacted by technological and economic factors during World War II. New forms of technology were used to help our military accomplish its goals. The navy was able to use sonar and radar to spot the German submarines. This helped to make it safer for Allied ships crossing the ocean. We also used radar to spot enemy airplanes. We developed the atomic bomb as a new weapon using newer forms of technology. This bomb helped bring World War II to an end.

There were economic factors that helped our military during the war. Because Great Britain didn’t have enough money to buy supplies from us, the Destroyers for Bases program was developed. This allowed our military to build bases in lands controlled by Great Britain. This allowed our military to have places to stop and refuel during the war. Additionally, with so many people unemployed as a result of the Great Depression, there were plenty of soldiers who could be drafted and plenty of people who could work in the war industries. It was the start of World War II that really ended the Great Depression for us. Our military benefited by having an ample supply of people who could be drafted into the military and who could go to work in the factories to produce the supplies and the equipment our soldiers needed.
