WWI had the introduction of machine guns and flame throwers.  they also used "trench warfare."  soldiers would dig long, deep trenches in the ground for protection, and would keep digging layers of trenches to get closer to the enemy lines.  some slow planes were used in WWI, but it wasn't until WWII that had actual dogfights.  WWII also had nuclear bombs (the US dropping them on Hiroshima and Nagasaki), and pipe bombs (used when storming the beaches of Normandy, like in Saving Private Ryan).  The Korean War was a transitional period to guerilla warfare that was featured in the Vietnam Conflict.  In Vietnam they also used Napalm (bombs that would burst into flames and burn the jungles, along with its victims) by dropping these bombs from airplanes, along with agent orange.  The Cold War was basically espionage and an arms race.  It started around the time of JFK (1960-63) with the failed Bay of Pigs Invasion and the Cuban Missile Crisis (if you like movies, check out Thirteen Days, an HBO movie with Kevin Costner).  Basically between the 1960s and 1989, the US and former Soviet Union tried to see who can make the biggest arsenal of nuclear warheads.  You can look any of this information up at wikipedia.  they have a lot of good information, but make sure you try and check it with something else because they do have a lot of misleading stuff, especially in history.

The Cold War was the protracted geopolitical, ideological, and economic struggle that emerged after World War II between the global superpowers of the Soviet Union and the United States, supported by their alliance partners. It lasted from about 1947 to the period leading to the dissolution of the Soviet Union on December 25, 1991.\n\nThe global contest was popularly termed The Cold War because direct hostilities never occurred between the United States and the Soviet Union. Instead, the "war" took the form of an arms race involving nuclear and conventional weapons, networks of military alliances, economic warfare and trade embargos, propaganda, espionage and proxy wars, especially those involving superpower support for opposing sides within civil wars. The Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 was the most important direct confrontation, together with a series of confrontations over the Berlin Blockade and the Berlin Wall. The major civil wars polarized along cold war lines were the Greek Civil War, Korean War, Vietnam War and the Soviet-Afghan War, along with more peripheral conflicts in Angola, El Salvador, and Nicaragua.\n\nThe greatest fear during the Cold War was the risk it would escalate into a full nuclear exchange with hundreds of millions killed. Both sides developed a deterrence policy that prevented problems from escalating beyond limited localities. Nuclear weapons were never used in the Cold War.\n\nThe Cold War cycled through a series of high and low tension years (the latter called detente). It ended in the period between 1989 and 1991, with the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact and later the Soviet Union. Historians continue to debate the causes in the 1940s, and the reasons for the Soviet collapse in the 1980s.

The war in Korea. Today 50 years later Korea is still a country divided and the Communist North is the largest threat to nuclear war in the world today.\nThe war in Vietnam. Before the war only North Vietnam was Communist. Today 40 years later all of Vietnam is under Communist rule.\n(For those that say these were not wars but only police actions, tell that to the tens of thousands of troops that died there)\nAlthough you didn't ask the next war the USA will lose is the war in Iraq.

That's a tough one; infantry tactics underwent a major paradigm shift after the introduction of the Maxim Machine Gun at the close of the 19th century.\n\nPrior to that, it was essentially (and this is VERY simplified) fire volley, fire volley, advance in a line, and bayonet everything not running away.

The Cold War was an extended period of bipolar rivalry between the USSR and the USA. Most obviously, it represents a period of stability in International Relations where the world was often divided into two seperate spheres - the US and its satellites and the USSR and its satellites.\n\nIn many ways this was also a clash of values and of political systems, of a liberal democracy dedicated to free trade and market forces against a socialist authoritarian state operating on the basis of a command economy, though it is important not to overstress this. \n\nTo a large degree the Cold War was nothing more than a particular instance of bipolarity where the international order was balanced between two superpowers.

The Korean War that broke out in 1950 was a concrete starting point of the Cold War, with the countries of the world aligning themselves with either the United States or the Soviet Union. More important, it was also a microcosm of the intense global struggle between the democratic and communist blocs. As such, the frontline of the Korean War was the frontline of the forces of God and the forces of Satan which have formed two distinct currents in history.

World War I (abbreviated WWI), also known as the First World War, the Great War and "The War to End All Wars" was a global military conflict that took place mostly in Europe between 1914 and 1918. It was a total war which left millions dead and helped to shape the modern world.\n\nThe Allied Powers, led by France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and later Italy and the United States, defeated the Central Powers: Austria-Hungary, Germany, Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire.\n\nMuch of the fighting in World War I took place along the Western Front, within a system of opposing manned trenches and fortifications (separated by a "no man's land") running from the North Sea to the border of Switzerland. On the Eastern Front, the vast eastern plains and limited rail network prevented a trench warfare stalemate from developing, although the scale of the conflict was just as large. Hostilities also occurred on and under the sea and — for the first time — from the air. More than nine million soldiers died on the various battlefields, and millions more civilians perished.\n\nThe war caused the disintegration of four empires: the Austro-Hungarian, German, Ottoman, and Russian. Germany lost its overseas empire, and states such as Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia were created, or recreated, as was the case with Poland.\n\nWorld War I created a decisive break with the old world order that had emerged after the Napoleonic Wars, which was modified by the mid-19th century’s nationalistic revolutions. The results of World War I would be important factors in the development of World War II 21 years later.

1. Wars can escalate to the point where they involve muh of the world (as hapened twice in the 20th century).\n2. Wars can devastate the environment, contribute to global warming, or have much more sever consequence if they involve nuclear weapons.\n3. Wars can impact global trade and trade routes, which can affect all countries.\n4. War-torn areas typically become breeding grounds for disease.  There are historically many plagues that follow wars, which spread far beyond the war zone.\n5. If someone else's government wins something via a war, your government may decide it is a good idea to draft you and start a war of its own.
