Best Answer

ENIAC (Electronic Numeric Integrator and Computer). Was the first general purpose computer, which was used by the US Army for calculating projectile trajectory.

The first electronic computer predated this by 3 years in 1943, COLLUSUS. But had only one task of decyphering German codes during WWII. It was so secret, that everyone thought that ENIAC was the first, until de-classified.

ENIAC is probably the most famous of that period. 1,000 times faster than anything that came before it, and nothing has ever surpassed this enormous leap in performance ever since. Construction began in 1943 and completion was announced on Valentine's Day 1946.

It partly depends on what you mean by "computer", but a good candidate is "Colossus", which was developed in Bletchley Park in the UK during 1943-1945.
