Industrialization and War

” Industrialization brought with it vast changes for many societies across the globe. Its impact on daily life is undeniable, but it was also felt on the battlefields of the nineteenth century. Innovations in combat, weaponry, transportation, communication, logistics, and many more would drastically alter the face of modern warfare.

As part of your assessment, be sure to discuss how that trend or innovation debuted and/or impacted a particular war of the era.”
