People in World War 1. They used it to keep plans away from enemy solders.
------------------
When Morse, Henry and Vail invented the telegraph in 1836 it produced a mechanically punched tape with "the Code" as a method of long distance communication with a recorded record. It was the primary communications system for the financial institutions and strategic communications such as railroad control.
Actually, Morse Code, and the similar International Code (sometimes also referred to as Morse Code) via wire transmission were in use long before the civil war and decades after World War II. And the reason it was called a code was not to conceal information, as one person (a potential enemy) with the proper equipment could hear it the same as an ally. Like the binary code of today its dots and dashes represented a shorthand of the English language solely for electronic communication.
Morse Code was invented long before voice radio came into existence in 1906. Even after voice radio was around, Morse or International Code was still transmitted over longer distances with simpler and cheaper equipment, and also more easily heard through static interference than voice. There are few amateur radio operators (Hams) that do not have equipment to produce Morse signals and for those that are not trained to read it, there are auxiliary computer devices that can translate what is transmitted when received. It still takes a practiced hand to send it; and, a practiced mind to translate it, particularly if computer chips are disabled by an EMF pulse.
In order to keep plans away from an enemy, you would need to encrypt the message first, then transmit the encrypted version. The enemy and the friend could both take down the encryption, but the friend would have the key to decrypt it.

∙ 9y agoIn the past morse codes where used during the war to send out information for war allies, nowadays Morse codes are used by aeronautical navigational aids and amateur radio operators. Morse codes are useful during emergencies signaling SOS with a radio, mirror, or flashlight.

Who created coding?
Morse Code, created by Samuel Morse, was designed to transmit letters across the Telegraph system. He wanted frequently used letters to have short codes and less frequently used letters to have longer codes.
How many Morse codes are there in the world?
there are two different symbols in Morse code: dots and dashesfor example Morse code would be (in international Morse code):-- --- .-. ... . -.-. --- -.. .

What year did Henry Morse make up Morse code?
Samuel F.B. Morse, with the assistance of Alfred Vail, invented Morse Code in 1835 when, as a professor of arts and design at New York University, he proved that signals could be transmitted by wire. Originally, Morse Code was a series of written codes on a strip of paper, but in 1836, the device used to produce the written codes was modified to emboss the paper with dots and dashes, which he modestly called Morse's Code. The message sent as the first public demonstration was "What hath God wrought".

Who used the Morse code?
Many people in the military used Morse code. Morse code is a type of communication that everyone else could not understand.
How are messages sent using telegraph?
People used the Morse Code to send messages from far distances Morse code was used by how long you hold it down.
Who created Morse Code?
The land telegraph was invented by Samuel F. B. Morse, in the 1830s I think. He built this thing that when a button was pushed at one place, it could cause a clacker to go clack at the other end of a wire many miles long. In order to send information over it, he invented a code of clacks for each letter of the alphabet ... which he modestly called Morse's Code. The message sent as the first public demonstration was "What hath god wrought".
