World War 1/2

1) I think that the most interesting part to WW1 and 2 would have to be the new technology that was created. I think that the new forms of weapons were part of what made the World Wars so different. Air planes, tanks, submarines, they were all new devices at the time that changed warfare forever. They created new means of transportation for ammo and reinforcements, whoever had the most of these machines often had a higher advantage than the others, (not always the case though) and it opened gateways to technology that we still use today.

2) I would like to know more about each individual country involved. I would like to know more about what their economy was like pre WW1, pre WW2, post WW2 and what the economy looks like now. I would also like to learn more about the individual countries exact involvement with the war(s). I know slightly broader details about both the economy of individual countries and their involvement, but I would like to know more detail.

3) These wars are/were important because without them, the Europe would be completely different geographically. For one thing, Austria would still be Austria-Hungary, there would still be a "Ottoman Empire" and Prussia wouldn't exist. Beyond geography, we also wouldn't have a lot of the technology that we have today. Many cars were designed after each of the wars since airplanes couldn't be flown out of Germany, (they turned them into cars). Perhaps most importantly though, a lot of European and Asian countries would probably still be suffering from either poorly exicuted Communism or Dictatorships. Italy, Russia, Japan, Germany, several parts of Spain and multiple other countries were suffering from Dictatorships. Without the World Wars several of these countries would probably still be unfairly ruled.
