Actually any commercial computer by anybody that could be named was before IBM. Watson Sr. saw little future in electronic computing and did not want to build fast machines that would obsolete their Electromechanical Unit Record line. It took Watson Jr. and the Korean War to push IBM into making their first "commercial" compuuter: the Scientific IBM 701. Their first two true commercial computers: The IBM 650 and IBM 702 were introduced a year or two after the IBM 701.
The name of the first commercially available electronic digital computer is UNIVAC.

I'd say it was a calculator
Most of the early work that lead to the modern programmable electronic digital computer was prompted by military needs in WW2. IBM was prompted into developing their first commercially available programmable electronic digital computer, the IBM 701, by the Korean War. The Cold War in general prompted many developments in miniaturization of digital computers, especially for military avionics and missile guidance systems. Any specific war you were thinking of?

No, the first electronic digital computer was made in 1942. Its invention was about 1937.Electronic digital computers have been manufactured for sale since 1950.
John Mauchly, a mechanical engineer, co-invented with John Presper Eckert, the first general-purpose electronic digital computer, called the ENIAC. Later, the duo invented the first digital electronic computer available for sale to the general public, called the UNIVAC.
The first electronic digital computer was.
Uncertain, but sometime in the early 1950s when an off the shelf electronic analog computer was interfaced to an electronic digital computer.
Never, because it did not preexist its use by humans. The electronic computer (both digital & analog) was invented.
