Why are factories important during a war?
Factories are important in modern warfare because modern war is fought using highly complex machines such as tanks, aircraft, vessels, etc. These, and the ammunition used, are made in factories. In addition, modern civilian life depends on manufactured items and without reasonably well supplied civilians, the factories making military items will not function. Destroy or damage the factories and the materials needed to fight a war become less available. Without materials, they will eventually be unable to oppose the advance of the better supplied force.
