The first launch of the V-2 on October 3rd, 1942 reached a height of 85 kilometres. Later launches went higher but there is no listing for when they broke through the technical 100 kilometres 'limit' of space.
The first rocket sent into space was called V-2, which was launched by Germany in 1944.
The first animals intentionaly sent into space were fruit flies aboard an American launched German made V-2 rocket in 1947. It is possible that insects were sent into space aboard V2 rockets in World War II, but this was not intentional.The first monkey in space was Albert II a rehsus macaque who was sent into space in a V2 rocket on June 14, 1949. He survived the trip into space but was unfortuantely killed when the rocket crashed on landing.

It did not.
If you mean the first to reach space, they say that a V2 German rocket reached Low-earth-orbit during testing in 1942.
it was unmanned
A4 was the German v2
A V2 German rocket/bomb reached low-earth-orbit in tests in 1942(In another answer to a similar question, the same contributor writes:"They say that a V2 German rocket/bomb reached low-earth-orbit . . . . . " etc.So I'd be careful about taking this information to the bank, at least until I knowwho "they" is.)
No, Russia was the first country to send up a object to space.The answer above is not correct.The first object sent into space was a German V2 in 1942. There even is a movie showing the first images of space.Soviet Union sent the first flight with an animal (the Dog Laïka), and the first flight with a human (Yuri Gagarine)

The first animals in space were fruit flies aboard a United States V2 rocket in 1947. (which are insects not animals) A Rhesus Monkey, called Albert II became the first monkey in space aboard another United States V2 rocket in 1949. The first dogs into space were Tsygan and Dezik aboard a Soviet rocket in 1951 - although not into orbit. The first dog into orbit was Laika aboard a Soviet Sputnik 2 rocket in 1957
The V2 rocket, considered the forerunner of all space capable rockets, only had a payload capacity of 2,200 pounds. The Saturn 5 rocket that sent men to the moon had a payload capacity of 260,000 lbs.
