Why was it called World war 2?

Places affected?

•Locate the world’s countries, using maps to focus on Europe (including the location of Russia) – to be covered in the context of locating the countries involved in World War II.

•Describe and understand key aspects of human geography, including types of settlement and land-use – to be covered in the context of looking at why certain areas of the country were targeted or not targeted during the Blitz, and why certain parts were used for evacuation.

•Use maps, atlases, globes and digital/computer mapping to locate countries and describe features studied – covered in the context of comparing different maps of Europe, pre and post World War II and modern.

Use the eight points of a compass – covered in the context of creating a map and instructions to show a route to the nearest bomb shelter for local people during the war

World War II Tanks

World War II lasted from September 1, 1939 until September 2, 1945. Over 30 countries took part in a war that was fought in the Pacific, Europe, North Africa, and Asia and involved over 100 million people. Because of the large extent of people and places involved in the war, it was called a Total War. Many technological inventions and ideas emerged during this war. One of the military tools that advanced was the tank.

The History of the Tank

The very first tank was invented in 1915 and began to be used in World War I. It was named Little Willie. Little Willie was made in England and it weighed an amazing14 tons. It was slow and the engine became overheated quickly, but it was a start and soon faster and stronger tanks were created. Most of these advanced tanks were created during World War II

What is a Tank?

A tank is a vehicle, such as a car, that is protected with thick armor. It has a large gun and is mobile, so that it can be used in front-line battles. The large gun, called a Commander's MG, can move around in different directions for attack. The crew is protected by the armor, and there are two large tracks that move the vehicle instead of wheels. The tracks help the vehicle to move to where it is needed and it rough terrains such as mountains. The soldiers are in the large vehicle and fire from openings that are called gun tanks.

How did Tanks Change During World War II?

When tanks were first invented they were big, bulky, and moved slowly. They often got stuck in sand or muddy areas, consequently stranding the soldiers inside of them. The tanks used in World War II were better in several ways.

They were able to move quicker

They had more protective armor

The guns were more powerful

The tracks were able to move better without getting stuck in places

And some tanks were even amphibious, which means they could be used from land to sea

The Allies: Britain, China, France, The Soviet Union, the United States, Belgium, Brazil, Australia, and many other minor countries and the Axis Powers: Germany, Italy, Japan, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria both had tanks that underwent many modern changes.

Some of the Many Tanks of World War II

The Panther: A German Tank

Introduced in battle in 1943

Used until 1945

Medium sized

Known for strong firepower and superior mobility

Considered one of the top designs in World War II

Used by other nations in battle after World War II

M4 Sherman: United States Tank

Used by all Allies

The main gun was extremely accurate

50,000 produced during WWII

Medium Sized

Sherman Firefly: British Tank

Similar to the US M4 Sherman

Powerful anti-tank gun called the British 17 pounder

Could defeat the Panther and the Tiger tanks

Iosif Stalin Tank: Soviet Union Tank

Named after Joseph Stalin

Thick armor

Could defeat the Panther and the Tiger

Also called the IS tank

Tiger I: German Tank

A heavy tank

Developed in 1942

Had a 88mm gun

Effective against air and ground attacks

Used in all German battlefront conflicts

Tiger II: German Tank

A heavy tank

Powerful gun and thick armor

Superior to all Allies tanks

Underpowered engine

As each tank was created and possible mistakes and flaws were discovered, new tanks were then developed. An example of this is when the Germans created the Tiger II after analyzing the problems the Tiger I had. These cutting edge technological advances were never seen before World War II.

Our modern day cars have features that were first discovered, as World War II tanks were improved. Car parts and functions such as tires, steering, and the materials on cars all began with the inventions of tanks in World War II. Civilian life, nonmilitary life, is not the only place where World War II made impacts. Better military tanks and armor were created because of the desire for countries to win and then end this war. The history of World War tanks and the impacts live on today, long after the signing of the peace treaty to end the war in 1945.
