Introduction WWI was fought between empires. The Austro Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire and the Russian empire with its European allies, Italy, Germany and others. The Ottoman Empire had the biggest disadvantage of being less trained intellectually but however lasted four years in the war. Nazi Germany joined hands with Japan to conquer the world but were halted by another bigger empire led by the US.
Discussion The defeat of the Ottoman Empire was credited to inferior military techniques. The use of nuclear war heads on Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended WWII. All these were credited to superior military warfare. Ever since, military education has gone high tech and there are constant technological researches by military schools across the world. Nuclear science has remained in the hands of the few courtesy of the non-proliferation treaty. Annual average military budgets from the U.S to Kenya and Myanmar dwarf expenditure on education and health. There are always new drones being tested, new weapons being developed and military personnel increases on an annual basis. Cyber warfare has entered the fray, and foreign computer agents have been credited with attempts to bring down computerized military systems of other countries. Hacking is likely to be the new frontier, although it is not envisioned to replace the traditional war fighting with large arms.
Conclusion Wars are fought between empires which have the capacity to be heavily militarized. This has allowed investment in new technological machinery, education, research and innovation. This puts the country with an educated military populace ahead of its opponents.
