Total War

Total War is when the entire resources and population are mobilized towards the war effort,which takes priority over everything else.Further, Total War also involves prosecuting the war against the entire population of the enemy, not just against its military.

During the war there was, conscription into the military for all countries involved. Women working in munitions factories, heavy industry, and many other jobs they hadn't done before.In Britain, women were conscripted into such work. A War Economy adopted in Britain, France,and Germany, whereby manufacture of weapons, munitions, and other war materiel was prioritized. German naval bombardment of coastal British towns, and air raids over London. When the war ended, Britain was constructing a heavy bomber force that they were planning to use to attack German cities. German u-boats attacked and sank civilian merchant shipping and liners. Etc. this is why WW I was a total war.
