Best Answer

The Submachine gun was invented in World War 1 roughly during the years of 1914-1918, where as the apex of it's use was during the second World War (1939-1945)

It's first days of use were in the close combat situations of Trench Warfare, where the longer barrels of your standard assault rifle would greatly cripple a solider's combat performance.
