Members of many different Native American tribes were used as code talkers in order to send covert messages in their native tribal languages during battles without fear of them being intercepted by the axis intelligence workers.

World war II was a global military conflict in which started in 1939 and lasted all the way through 1945.

During the war, advancements in technology and warfare increased greatly in the air, at sea, and on ground.

In Air:
Fighters and bombers maintained their large roles. New strategic bombing plans were also implemented

At Sea:
Aircraft carriers and submarines played a major role during the war at sea. Which allowed many different types of warfare to arise.

On Land:
The tank which had been used a bit in World War I developed into being used primarily in World War II which opened up an arrangement of new types of warfare also.
