Triple Entente Analysis

Starting in 1914 the global war called “World War 1” or also called “The Great War” had begun. The war started against the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Bosnia and Russia, but had escalated to include multiple countries, such as the Turkey, Canada and the United States. These countries decided to join for their own reasons but have 1 thing in common between every country in the war. The war accelerated technological advancement for their country. This was evident in multiple Canadian wars, such as the battle at the Somme, Ypres, and Vimy Ridge. The war had accelerated technology in both sides of the war. The triple alliance, especially Germany had created multiple ways to fight the Triple Entente. The Triple Entente, had developed less technology

The battles had happened with the use of rifles and foot soldiers, tanks, and other artillery fire. For any extra help such as scouting, the army would launch airplanes to go on reconnaissance missions. “Air Warfare” or “Dogfights” refer to fighting against enemy aircrafts in midair, this began through small exchanges of shots from 2 pilots meeting each other mid-flight. (Showalter, “World War I”) This escalated into air warfare where aircrafts with high mobility were fitted with machine guns. (Showalter, “World War I”) At this time, the idea of bombing was being slowly introduced. These fighter planes were also fitted with bombs for bombing missions, the bombs had to be released by hand by the pilot. (BBC News, “Viewpoint: How WW1 changed aviation forever”) These aircraft used propellers and had to be hand started before flight. All fighter pilots needed to read maps to be able to get to a war ground which is not needed today because of GPS software. There were many engines created for these aircrafts and many pilots were available to fly them. (BBC News, “Viewpoint: How WW1 changed aviation forever”) The disadvantages to these planes were that they were made out of wood so if the engine caught on fire from any enemy shots the whole plane would begin to burn, and the pilot was on his own once he took off, therefore he must know what to do and where to fly before taking
