Governments conducted war in World War II in similar ways in many aspects. One of the similarities was the presence of totalitarian regimes in power, such as Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. These regimes used propaganda to mobilize their populations and maintain control over them. Additionally, both Axis and Allied powers implemented rationing and other forms of economic control to support the war effort. Another similarity was the use of advanced technology in warfare, such as tanks, planes, and submarines. Both sides also engaged in strategic bombing campaigns targeting civilian populations, causing significant damage and loss of life. Collaboration between allied powers in military operations was also a key similarity. The importance of alliances and diplomacy in shaping the outcome of the war cannot be overstated. The role of women in the war effort was also significant, as they took on new roles in the workforce and military. The impact of the war on civilian populations and the economy was another similarity. Both Axis and Allied powers suffered significant losses and damage, and the war had a lasting impact on the global economy. Finally, the use of concentration camps and forced labor by both Axis and Allied powers was a dark similarity. The Holocaust and internment of Japanese Americans in the United States are examples of this.
