Best Answer

The civil war, during its first phase was dominated by tactical and strategic criteria dating back to the Napoleonic era.

Subsequently, the use of new technologies in weaponry, in the equipment, means of transportation and communication led to the development of major innovations in tactics, strategy and logistics through which conflict can be defined as the first modern war. For the first time in history the home front assumed great importance due to the mobilization of all resources, human and material, for purposes of war and saw the first episodes of total war that involved infrastructure and civilian populations, carried out to break down the moral and material resources of the adversary in order to annihilate the enemy and win the conflict.
