Espionage does not die out after WWI; countries realize the importance of having a strong intelligence agency. This realization leads to the progression of espionage and ways that the countries develop a formal intelligence bureau.
Many methods of spies became more advanced in WWII such as codes. Spies
were assigned different jobs when they were trained. One specific job was code
cracking. The codes became more advanced and the code crackers became more
skilled because they were trained to do one specific job instead of many, such
as the spies in WWI. For example part of our victory at D-day was the result of
in depth spy efforts to capture and crack enemy code books. Depicting enemy
codes successes fully meant that the U.S and allies would know strategies and
plans that would help to defeat the enemy. World War I sparked the idea of
creating a central and organized building or area in which spies were recruited,
trained, and where intelligence secrets were safely kept. In 1941 the first
peacetime, civilian intelligence agency was created by President Franklin D
Roosevelt. The purpose of this office was to unite and organize the activities
of several agencies. Shortly after, the U.S suffered from its most costly
intelligence disaster when the Japanese bombed Pearle harbor. The intelligence
failure was the result of analysis misconceptions, bureaucratic confusion, and
carefully planned Japanese denial and deception, in which the U.S could not see
through. This lead to the establishment of a larger and more diversified agency,
the Office of Strategic Services, or better known as the OSS. WWI was the basis
for espionage, it allowed for countries to experiment and figure out the ways
and importance of espionage and to further establish bureaus for the future.
