World War I was termed "total war" because it involved not only the military but also entire nations mobilizing their economies, societies, and resources to support the war effort. Civilians became directly involved in the conflict through production, labor, and even as targets of military actions, as seen in bombings and blockades. Governments exercised extensive control over industries and implemented Propaganda to maintain public support, blurring the lines between combatants and non-combatants. This comprehensive engagement marked a significant shift in how wars were fought and experienced by societies.
