Hi guys
Telegrams these days are different than telegrams "in the old days". You can still send telegrams all over the world, in a couple of hours if necessary. The big difference's is the way telegrams are send over the world. In earlier days telegrams where send by the telegraph-lines with Morse codes. At the other side of the line these codes where translated to words again and brought by messenger to the receiver. Today we don't use Morse codes anymore, but telegrams are still very important. You can use telegrams to congratulate someone, to send your deepest sympathy or wish someone much luck. Any occasion you can think of, a telegram will bring the message!
In the 1940s, telegrams were a widely used form of communication, especially for urgent messages and important announcements. While exact usage figures are difficult to determine, millions of telegrams were sent annually during this decade, particularly during and after World War II when timely communication was crucial. The popularity of telegrams was facilitated by services like Western Union in the United States, which dominated the market.
Telegrams were faster than letters, and were usually delivered the same day, sometimes even late at night. Letters, especially from afar, sometimes took several days to deliver. Furthermore, telegrams usually conveyed a sense of importance or urgency, since they cost much more to send than a letter.

Telegrams were widely used from the mid-19th century, starting with the advent of the telegraph in the 1840s, until the late 20th century. Their use peaked in the early to mid-20th century for personal, business, and government communication. With the rise of telephones, fax machines, and eventually the internet, telegrams saw a significant decline, leading to their discontinuation in many regions by the early 2000s.
