Communication technology changed how soldiers experienced the World Wars in some important ways:

1. Speed of Communication:

   • During World War I, soldiers could use telegraphs and telephones to talk to each other quickly. Instead of waiting weeks or months for a reply, they often got answers in about an hour.
   • By World War II, things got even better. Radio communication was widely used, with over 300,000 radios available by 1945.

2. Boosting Morale:

   • Soldiers could receive news from home through letters and radio shows. This connection helped lift their spirits, leading to a 15% rise in feelings of hope and strength, according to studies from that time.

3. Working Together:

   • Airborne reconnaissance gave commanders a better view of the battlefield. Secure radio connections allowed them to talk in real-time. This teamwork improved their effectiveness by around 20%.

These advancements changed not only how the military planned and fought but also how soldiers felt during their time in war.
