Cities were bombed in World War II primarily to disrupt the enemy's war production, diminish morale, and weaken civilian support for the war effort. Strategic bombing campaigns targeted industrial centers, transportation networks, and urban areas to cripple the enemy's ability to sustain military operations. Additionally, cities were bombed to instill fear and chaos among the civilian population, which was intended to hasten the end of the conflict. This approach was exemplified by events such as the Blitz in Britain and the firebombing of cities like Dresden and Tokyo.
