There were two main places communists got involved in World War II.  The first, obviously, was Russia.  They were, ironically enough, our allies in the fight against the Nazis.  The second was the underground movements in occupied countries.  Since communists were banned by the Nazis, they already had a network of secret cells and communication systems.  They were the ones, after all, who invented the Molotov Cocktail and other guerrilla fighting techniques.  And there is no denying that some of them were very brave and took terrible risks in the underground fighting.  This also clearly gave them some key positions when the war was over, and they took maximum advantage of the fact.

Powering boats like aircraft carriers and submarines.\n\nProducing radioactives for medical uses like Technesium99 which is injected into patients to do bone scans.\n\nPossibly used as a starter system for nuclear fission reactors (though this is a theory that has been around for decades and still hasn't happened) \n\nReally Big Bombs.

Probably alot, but neither side used them in World War 2.  Germans used most of their gas on the Jews.  Needless to say, the Nazis got creative.

I'm not sure where some of the other people got there info from, because several of the guns listed in some of the replys are not used by the American Military or are no longer used. I can give you a large list of military guns that I actually use in my career field. I am a Small Arms Instructor at Sheppard Air Force base in Texas.

Yes, they had used it but only once in world war two. They dropped the bomb in 1945.

Today, there is artillery that is capable of firing off nuclear warheads, I don't believe we or our enemy had fire power like that during WWI.  Battleships, with their 8" guns were pretty darn powerful during WWII, however even then we didn't have artillery that could compete with today's range or explosive power.\n\nA number of years ago, Saddam hired a Canadian national to build a cannon for him that could reach Israel.  By the time the Canadian got this weapon designed, built, and in place to fire it had some really unusual features.  The barrel was so long, that the cannon was erected in front of a large hill.  The hill supported the barrel.  The rest of the cannon was supported on railroad tracks.  This allowed the cannon the ability to move to the rear, from the recoil when it was fired.  It was quite a contraption and unfortunately for the Canadian, Moussed caught up with him before he could finish the project, and finished him, instead!

During that war the entire country was turned into a weapon making machine.  Things were made in almost every factory that existed.  To name all of those would be a huge project.

Well a "war" is defined by an "open and declared armed hostile conflict between states or nations" it generally includes armed assault.  That said, WWII was a "war" b/c nations declared there be a state of hostility among themselves...the countries approached an impasse and used political pressures and militant power to try and resolve it.  \n\n\nSo, a list??  Let me try and generalize "war" in bullet-form.\n\n- Disagreement b/w one or more nations \n- Governments DECLARED OPENLY that there be a dynamic b/w the nations which includes forcefully trying to "get what they want."\n- Force in WWII included blockades, the killing of both soldiers and civilians, invading foreign territories to reach strategic targets to be destroyed, looting, raping, torture, etc. (no country is exempt from this laundry list of behaviors, some countries more guilty of certain ones than others, I won't name names).  \n\nHope my answer helped - if you need more let me know and I'll see what I can do.

There are two basic types of atomic bomb. The gun type was used over Hiroshima and used U-235. The compression type is more common now and was used over Nagasaki and used Pu-239.

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.
