They were supposedly invented in China around the 11th century to ward off the Mongol invaders. later on in history, a British engineer named William Congreve took to the skies with a new rocket design inspired by Tipu Sultan's Mysore rockets. These Congreve rockets utilized stabilizing fins to keep its aim true, though this came into little effect. Even farther in history, before World War II, a man named Robert Goddard invented the first rocket to use liquid-fuel propellent. During WWII, the German Army ( Die Wehrmacht ) developed a rocket called the V-2, which was designed to strike Britain from German-occupied France. The Soviet Union also developed a military rocket called the Katyusha rocket, which with proper coordination and weather conditions, could be used very effectively. Later, during the Cold War, Russia launched a satellite into space called Sputnik-1 using rocket propulsion, which prompted the United States to delve deeper into rocket technology. The United States put the first humans on the moon on July 20th, 1969 using rocket technology. Several technological innovations later, and you have the modern rocket in its various forms ( ICBM, Space shuttles, MRBM, SRBM, the list goes on ).

When were modern rockets first developed?
In the Early 1900s
What rockets did Von Braun work on after the V-2?
After WW2 he developed three rockets for the US: the Redstone, the Jupiter and then Project Apollo's Saturn.
Were rockets invented before 1945?
Yes. The Chinese invented gunpowder long ago, and used gunpowder to make fireworks-style rockets shortly after that. So these solid-fuel rockets have been around for over a thousand years. What we think of as "rockets", using liquid fuels, were developed in the 1800s. The Russian rocket theorist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky developed the theory of rocket propulsion as applied to space travel in 1903, and his work formed the fundamental basis for the more practical work of the American Robert Goddard and the German Herman Oberth in the 1920's. By 1943, the Germans were building the "V-2" ballistic missile.
In which country was the first rocket made?
Rockets were first developed and used in China. By the 19th century, most European military powers had rockets available, although they were neither reliable nor accurate. Rockets, as we understand them today, were developed in the United States by Robert Goddard in the early 20th century. He received no government funding or recognition. They were developed in their modern military form in Germany during the second world war, building on Robert Goddard work as recorded in US Patents, which were and are publicly available documents. Subsequent advances were made initially by German scientists who moved to the US and USSR after WWII, then by government programs in the US, USSR and other countries. .
Did world war 2 airplanes have missiles?
Answer They used unguided rockets. Basically a rocket that fired in the direction it was pointed. Aircraft like the US Navy Corsair and the British Typhoon used rockets for ground attacks. The Germans developed a guided bomb that they could control it as it fell on the target. The bomb was called Fritz.
Where and when were rockets first developed?
Rockets were first developed in Ancient China as fireworks. The Chinese also discovered gunpowder. ASIANS
For what purposes were rockets initially developed?

How long have rockets existed for?
If you count the rocket propulsion developed by cephalopods, rockets have existed since the Silurian period.

What is happening in the space program today?
we now have developed technology, and faster rockets.
Why were the first rockets built?
