World War One was the largest and most destructive war that had occurred in human history up until this point. It differed in many ways from the wars in the past in that conflicts occurred throughout the globe and warfare was not restricted to just soldiers but also involved civilians.

World War One was one of the most devastating and deadly periods in human history; new technological developments such as tanks, airplanes, machine guns, and chemical warfare led to millions of people dying and being injured. It differed from past wars in its sheer scale. Nations in their need to supply troops for the front line implemented conscription policies where it became mandatory for civilians to fight for their country. Civilians were not separate from warfare as they were before and were often killed in air raids on cities and torpedo strikes on ships. It was the first conflict of total war, where every member of the nation is involved in the war effort and so every member of the nation suffered because of it. The scale of the conflict was enormous, with every continent being involved. The First World War showed that the new technologies and tactics of modern warfare meant that conflicts led to catastrophic amounts of death and destruction.

Why is Hydrogen bomb more destructive than atom bomb?

A hydrogen bomb is more destructive than an atomic bomb because it has hydrogen. Hydrogen is highly flammable, and if a hydrogen bomb exploded with enough force and just enough fire, a huge wide area of a fiery explosion will occur. This is more destructive than the atomic bomb. Fire basically engulfs everything and destroys all in its path, making for an effective bomb.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Wrong!Hydrogen does not burn in a hydrogen bomb, it fuses releasing atomic energy too. This fusion reaction is over in microseconds, much faster than combustion can start; also it reaches temperatures in the tens of millions of degrees, much hotter than any chemical fire or fission bomb. The reason a fusion bomb is usually more destructive than a fission bomb is the fusion bomb has no upper limit on yield, the fission bomb cannot be built with a yield over 1 megaton. One can just keep adding fusion stages until you get the desired yield.
