Answer 1

Answer: b. A conflict in which a nation devotes all of their resources to the war effort.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total war, therefore, implies the use of all possible material, human and economic resources to destroy the enemy on its territory. Total war as an idea and later practice originated in 1935 in Germany, and the Nazis were guided precisely by the vision of total war. Total war also means the destruction of civilians, because according to that idea, everyone is considered an enemy and a potential threat.
