1: mobilization of troops

2: blurry roles between civilian and soldiers
(civilians are legitimate targets)

3: refusal to peaceful compromise
(a war only ends when the enemy surrenders)

4: total control of society
(the channeling of a nation’s resources into the war - for example, factory workers who previously worked in the cotton textile sector were forced to build ammunition for WWI)
