British Inventions during WWII
Britain the one country who fought for the entirety of WWI and WWII ( Unlike the Americans), wasn't seen as a super contributor to WWII. People say the only reason the Allies won was because of the US. Yet Britain did a lot more then what people know. One of the first things invented in Britain at the start of WWII was the radar. Yes the British did in fact invent the radar. They used this technology to their advantage during the Battle of Britain in the 1940's. The Brits also built the first computer. And no the well known U.S. company Apple did not, I say did not invent the first computer( so hah ten points for G.B.). The computer first computer was in fact used to crack the German code. So all in all Britain was a huge contributor during WWII.

I agree that the British deserve more recognition for fighting during both WW1 and WW2. In fact, they still aren't recognized as much as American soldiers are in the war of Afghanistan. For some reason, the US seems to represent all wars they are apart of.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree the British should have more recognition as they were also the middle man in facilitating the relationship between the USSR and USA. Without Great Britain the Alllies would not have won World War II
