The biggest thing to remember about Europe being bombed was that immigrants to the US in 1800s through early 1900s still had family in their homelands.
Besides that, the US was busily making products to be used in the war. There was rationing on the homefront so citizens could support "our boys" fighting overseas.
The bombing of Dresden and other German cities during World War II resulted in extensive destruction, with entire neighborhoods obliterated and significant civilian casualties, estimated in the tens of thousands. The raids aimed to disrupt German industry and morale but also sparked intense debates about the ethics of targeting civilian populations. The devastation contributed to the overall collapse of Nazi Germany, though it left a lasting impact on the cities and their inhabitants, leading to long-term challenges in reconstruction and trauma. Additionally, the bombings intensified post-war discussions regarding war crimes and the morality of strategic bombing in warfare.
During World War II, London and Dresden were two cities that experienced devastating bombing campaigns. London endured the Blitz, a sustained aerial bombardment by the German Luftwaffe from 1940 to 1941, causing significant destruction and loss of life. Dresden was heavily bombed in February 1945 by Allied forces, resulting in widespread devastation and a controversial high civilian death toll. Both cities remain symbols of the war's impact on urban centers.
Industrialization during World War I significantly transformed both soldiers and civilians on the homefront. For soldiers, advancements in technology led to more lethal weaponry and new forms of warfare, such as trench warfare and the use of tanks and airplanes, which resulted in higher casualty rates. On the homefront, industrialization shifted economies to support the war effort, leading to increased production of munitions and supplies, while also mobilizing women into the workforce as men went to fight. This dual impact fostered a sense of national unity but also strained resources and altered societal roles.
During the Vietnam War, particularly during the "Christmas Bombing" campaign known as Operation Linebacker II in December 1972, an estimated 20,000 tons of bombs were dropped on Hanoi. This intense bombing campaign included the use of B-52 bombers and targeted military and infrastructure sites. The total number of individual bombs is difficult to quantify precisely, but the scale of the bombing was significant and had a devastating impact on the city and its population.
With a failure of bombing in the north, the American were forced to send in ground troops. Operation rolling thunder failed as the VC ( vietcong ) where well hiden in the tree canopies and so bombing was pointless.

The bombing of German cities during World War II likely had the biggest impact on German citizens on the home front, causing widespread destruction, loss of life, and displacement of families.
