• Nuclear power and missiles were
used, modern concepts of covert and
special operations. Submarines and
tanks were also more heavily used.
Encryption codes for secret
communication became more
complex. Germany used the Blitzkrieg
fighting method.
• War of ideologies, such as Fascism
and Communism.
• Fought from lines of trenches and
supported by artillery and machine
guns, infantry assault, tanks, early
airplanes and poisonous gas. Mostly
static in nature, mobility was minimal.
• War between countries for acquiring
colonies or territory or resources.
