History of the Jeep

JeepThe history of the Jeep is, in many ways, the history of the United States in the post-War era. Jeeps were first designed and manufactured for the use in the European theater during World War II. Jeeps needed to be versatile, rugged, tough, and couldn’t break down. Many soldiers became accustomed to driving Jeeps, and wished to continue to drive them once they returned to the States. The Army issued Jeeps were not exactly the same as the ones released for civilians, but they still had the same sort of rugged versatility. Ever since World War II ended, Jeeps have enjoyed a great deal of popularity among civilians, even as they continued to be manufactured and produced for the Army, and have been used in every war since the second World War.
