What would happen if you ran away during World War 1 whilst in battle?
your own side would shoot you.***Actually it's not quite that simple. If you're asking about US combat soldiers running away during battle, that is the offense of "desertion" under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and that offense was punishable by death (usually via firing squad).However, the UCMJ has procedures in place for trial (by Court Martial), conviction, and execution -- the series of events would not simply be "your own side would shoot you."
What is meant by total war what did the union army do during their campaign of total war?
The object of total war was twofold: to prevent the armies in the field from receiving supplies and to convince the civilian politicians that the war could not be won. In Sherman's phrase, "To make the rebels so sick of war that they will not resort to it for generations." The union forces did so by invading the south, and destroying rail lines, manufacturing capacity, and agricultural capability. The confederate forces were then ill fed, ill clothed, and ill equipped, and anxious about events occurring back home. This led to widespread desertion, and, eventually, Lee's surrender.
In World War 2 if soldiers did not want to fight were they shot?
no No, they were arrested and put in the brig and could sometimes do a long sentence for not fighting for their country. Was executed by firing squad on January 31, 1945, for desertion. 48 other American soldiers in the European Theater were executed for capital crimes (rape and murder). According to Everything2.com, Hitler executed 50,000 deserters. There was a political upheaval during the Eddie Slovak trial and it's usually unheard of that a soldier who refuses to fight is executed. I thought the question was related to U.S. soldiers so therefore didn't include Hitler. Soldiers who rape and murder deserve to be executed because that's beyond the call of duty.

How does Indian Air Force discriminate between peace and war desertion cases?
they dont discriminate between war or peace desertion. Policy was made by britishers and stays in effect... one of the top Officer says Airman can commit suicide but desertion is intolerable...

What are the Maryland abandonment laws for divorce?
In the context of divorce law, abandonment is referred to as "desertion." It is a "fault" type of grounds for divorce, meaning that it can affect how the court rules on matters of alimony and child custody.There are two types, Actual Desertion. and Constructive Desertion. The distinction at its core has to do with who is at fault, the person leaving or the person remaining in the home. Actual Desertion is when the person who left is at fault because they unjustifiably abandoned the spouse remaining. In Constructive Desertion, the spouse remaining drove the leaving spouse away through their actions, such as cruelty.In either case, the desertion must have continued for at least 12 months. During this time, the two spouse must not have stayed under the same roof for a night nor have sex, or it invalidates this period of time. The deserted spouse must also prove much of the matter in court, and this can be a complicated process. See link for specifics.

When was the last US death sentence for desertion?
I cannot recall the source but awhile back I recall coming across some information that stated that the last death sentence for desertion (in the US military) was carried out in France during WWII. (unable to cite the reference for this) I found the answer to my own question. Courtesy of the ExecutedToday.com article(http://www.facebook.com/ext/share.php?sid=116560151276&h=ZzCNO&u=6v7KX&ref=mf)On January 31, 1945, Private Edward Donald "Eddie" Slovik became a curious outlier of World War II: he was executed by firing squad by the U.S. Army for desertion. He is the only person to have been so punished for that crime since the Civil War.

What are the charges when someone runs away from the army and what is it called?
If he's just gone a few days and comes back on his own, (assuming he was not in a combat zone), it is called Absent Without Leave (AWOL) and he will probably just get a few weeks of extra duty, reduction in rank, or a fine. If he is missing for over a month or does something to indicate he does not intend to return, it is called desertion and he will probably do some time, perhaps several years, in a military prison. Desertion in combat can result in a death sentence. This punishment was used only once by the US Armed Forces during World War 2 and has not been used since.
