Morse Code requires less transmitter power and/or a less sensitive receiver to successfully send a given signal over a given path both of which can be an advantage, for example in mobile communications. Conversely, for the same transmitter power and receiver sensitivity, a Morse Code signal may be sent successively over a longer distance or under noisier conditions, for example when "Jamming" is in use. Finally, with the technology available in WWII it was much easier to send encrypted messages with Morse Code, since voice scramblers and computers were generally unavailable. That is, all that was necessary was to encode a text message with some encryption scheme, often by hand, and send the encrypted characters otherwise "in the clear" by Morse Code.

They had field telephones but also had radios and field telegraphs. Radios in those days used Morse code. The titanic used radio signals in Morse code and broadcast both the old signal -.-. --.- -.. which was Morse for CQD or Come Quick Danger and also the newer ... --- ... SOS. You should agree SOS is easier to remember. The titanic sunk just before World War 1.

Morse code is still used today especially by radio amteurs to communicate over very long distances at very hard frequencies. It was introduced in the 1830s. by Samuel Morse. There are actually two Morse codes. The other code is a modification of the original made in 1851 and called "international Morse".

The first form of long range communication device (the telegraph) could only transmit a binary signal (either on, or off), hence a form of communication had to be developed allowing information to be transmitted and decoded at the receiving end.

Because of its nature (binary communication) it continued to be used within the military, since a simple communication device could easily be constructed/found. (eg a Torch, whistle).

It also remained useful for clandestine operations, since it required only the press of a button on a radio morse-switch, rather than speech, which may have lead to a persons detection.

They used this machine which you type in dots or dashes which sends the Morse code.
