Detailed explanation-1: -Though many modern weapons made their appearance in WWI, WWII brought forward huge changes to the way war was waged. Instead of fighting in trenches, troops began to take cover in shell craters and foxholes, rather than hunker down in set lines.
Detailed explanation-2: -By the time of WW2, war strategies were a lot more complicated than the end of World War 1. In World War 1, much of the war was fought using trench warfare. However, during World War 2, soldiers were engaged in different styles of war including land, air, naval, and mathematics.
Detailed explanation-3: -Early land warfare tactics included the use of cover, charges and counterattacks. Land battles quickly led to trench warfare on the Western Front in Belgium and France. Each side occupied fighting lines (fronts) made up of trenches dug into the ground or breastworks constructed above low-lying country.
Detailed explanation-4: -War-induced technological leaps in aircraft design and performance recast the nature of air warfare. Streamlined, all-metal fighters replaced wood and fabric biplanes. With remote-controlled guns, pressurized cabins, and powerful engines, the Boeing B-29 Superfortress became the most advanced bomber of its day.
