Ballistic Missile Technology

The Germans invented the ballistic missile during World War II to "incinerate London." After the War ballistic missiles became a big deal in the Cold War arms race. More powerful ballistic missiles were invented with longer range. Eventually ballistic missiles were equipped with multiple warheads allowing one missile to destroy several targets. "Ballistic missiles have made global war, impossible to win."
