What new technology was introduced in the civil war?
Ironclad ships, landmines, submarines, observation balloons, repeating guns, and grenades.
Describe how Balloons were once used in wars?
In the American Civil War balloons were used for artillery observation, with the balloon tethered to the ground and the observer communicating by telegraph. In World War 1 the German artillery used them in this way also, with deadly effect against the Allies, but this time the balloons could be shot down by airplanes. For this reason the balloon observers were given parachutes. In World War 2 balloons were primarily used to defend against low flying aircraft. They were called barrage balloons, and they were strung together with wires to cut off the wings of enemy aircraft. The Western Allies used them to defend London and Normandy. Balloons were also used as aerial targets for gunnery training, and to train paratroopers in the basics of jumping.

Who used hot air balloons most in World War I?
During World War I, hot air balloons were primarily used by military forces for reconnaissance and artillery spotting. The French Army was one of the most prominent users, employing balloons to gather intelligence on enemy positions. The British Royal Flying Corps also utilized hot air balloons for similar purposes, although they gradually transitioned to more advanced aircraft for aerial observation as the war progressed. Overall, these balloons played a critical role in enhancing battlefield awareness.

What weapons were mostly used in World War 1?
Generically, the bolt action rifle, the machine gun, hand grenade, bayonet, and field artillery. There were other weapons that were used and/or developed during the war, including pursuit planes, bombers, observation balloons, zeppelins and tanks.
What type of new technology was used during the civi war?
Long-range artillery with rifled barrels. The telegraph. Moving troops by rail. Observation balloons. Submarines.
When were any observation balloons shot down in the US Civil War?
No. There are recorded attempts by Confederate artillerists to destroy balloons on or near the ground, but all of those attempts failed. Positioned well behind the front lines, and at an altitude of near 1,000 feet, balloons were difficult, if not impossible, targets for opposing militaries.
How were hot air balloons used during World War 2?
During World War II, hot air balloons were primarily used for observation and reconnaissance. They served as a means to gather intelligence from elevated positions, allowing for improved visibility over enemy movements. Additionally, balloon barrages were employed as a defensive measure to deter low-flying enemy aircraft, with cables attached to the balloons posing a risk to planes attempting to fly at lower altitudes. Overall, their use was instrumental in enhancing aerial surveillance and providing a layer of defense.
