Total war is all out war; using all weapons available. The Korean War and Vietnam Wars were not total wars; they were LIMITED wars...limited to non-nuclear conventional weapons. Total wars can no longer be fought in this age of atomic weapons, without risking "mutually assured destruction."

In waging a total war a nation channels all of its into the war effort.?

In a total war, a nation mobilizes all its resources—economic, industrial, and human—toward the war effort, often blurring the lines between military and civilian targets. This approach involves not only the military but also civilians, who may be called upon to contribute through labor, production, and support for the war. The goal is to achieve total victory by exhausting the enemy's resources and resolve. Consequently, total war can lead to significant societal changes and often has lasting impacts on the nation's fabric.
