This resulted in a manufacturing boom in the U.S. and employment for women and minorities. It also helped develop technology to be used against submarines in wars (Ducksters 7). This can pertain to culture because when this technology was developed‚ it could have led to more advanced technology‚ which is a big

The United States Navy decided to take advantage of this situation. They converted a U.S. Navy S-class submarine into a replica of a German U-boat and sent it to "help" the stranded U-boat

Military strategy had yet to fully understand how to use recent technological advances (particularly‚ the machinegun‚ heavy artillery‚ and the submarine). As a consequence‚ old strategies turned out to be completely useless (or‚ worse‚ massive failures). The manner in which most of the fighting in WW1 occurred reflects military leadership slowly groping about to fully understand how these new technologies
