Levee en masse is a French term meaning "mass mobilization," which refers to the practice of conscripting large numbers of citizens into military service, particularly during times of war. It emerged during the French Revolution in 1793 as a response to military threats, leading to the mobilization of the entire nation for defense. This concept not only included recruitment of soldiers but also involved the participation of civilians in supporting the war effort, reflecting a shift toward total war where the entire society is engaged in military endeavors.
