During World War I, soldiers were sometimes shot for cowardice as a means of maintaining discipline and order in the ranks. Military leaders viewed acts of cowardice or desertion as threats to morale and the effectiveness of the fighting force. The harsh penalties, including execution, were intended to deter others from similar behavior, reflecting the intense pressures and expectations placed on soldiers during the war. Many of these cases have since been re-evaluated, with a greater understanding of the psychological impacts of war.
