Summary
Advances in technology in WWII revolutionized the way in which war was practiced leading to the practice of total war in which everyone was involved in the war in one way or another. The introduction of V1 and V2 Rockets (i.e. buzz bombs), Long Range Aircrafts, Jet Aircraft, Helicopters, Nuclear Bombs and Communications Advances helped in this advanced technological revolution. With the war and the advances in technology along the way, the integration of women into the work force as they began running the economy, helped with equality as they too, were employed, helping out with the war effort which was admirable to many.
