World War I was considered a new type of war due to the introduction of modern technology and warfare tactics, which transformed traditional combat. Innovations such as machine guns, tanks, airplanes, and chemical weapons increased the scale and lethality of battles. The war also saw the use of trench warfare, leading to prolonged stalemates and massive casualties, contrasting sharply with earlier, more mobile conflicts. Additionally, the total war concept involved entire nations in the war effort, blurring the lines between combatants and civilians.

Compare the expansion of government power during World War I and World War 2?

This question does not indicate which government, nation or type of expansion. In Europe during World War 2 monarchies ruled the nations and there were no expansions. They had to give up their monarchies after World War 1. This allowed nationalism and democracy to begin in Europe. When Hitler came into power he changed Germany's rule to a dictatorship. Then after World War 2 Germany was able to return to democratic type government. In the US the only type of expansion was the United Nations being established in New York City.
