Question

Describe the term "Total War".

Answer 1

Total War is when someone goes through an area and “totals” or breaks something worth some value. I believe this technique was used during WWI by a general in Atlanta to get the south to surrender. Don’t quote me on this but I hope it helps!

Answer 2

military conflict in which the contenders are willing to make any sacrifice in lives and other resources to obtain a complete victory, as distinguished from limited war. Throughout history, limitations on the scope of warfare have been more economic and social than political.
