This code allowed for the representation of letters and numbers, enabling the efficient transmission of messages over wires. 4.5 out of 5 Morse's invention rapidly gained recognition and adoption. By the 1840s, telegraph lines were being constructed across the United States and Europe, connecting major cities and facilitating rapid communication between distant locations.

Transatlantic Telegraph and Submarine Cables
One of the most significant achievements in the history of the telegraph was the successful laying of the first transatlantic telegraph cable in 1858. This remarkable feat connected Europe and North America, enabling direct communication across the Atlantic Ocean. The transatlantic telegraph revolutionized global communication, reducing the time it took to transmit messages from days or weeks to mere minutes.
The success of the transatlantic telegraph inspired further advancements in submarine cable technology. Telegraph cables were laid across oceans, connecting continents and islands, creating a global network of communication. This network played a pivotal role in fostering international trade, diplomacy, and cultural exchange.

The telegraph had a profound impact on society in the 19th century. It transformed the way people communicated, conducted business, and accessed information. The telegraph played a crucial role in military operations, enabling rapid coordination and communication between troops and headquarters. It also facilitated the growth of international trade, as merchants and businesses could communicate with distant markets in near real-time.
The telegraph also revolutionized the dissemination of news and information. Newspapers and news agencies could now receive and publish news reports from around the world in a matter of hours. This led to a more informed public and contributed to the growth of a global news network.
