Answer
World War II was a total war because it involved the complete mobilization of a nation's resources, including its economy, industry, and population, towards the war effort. It also saw the use of new technologies and tactics, such as aerial bombing and the targeting of civilians, which had a significant impact on the civilian population. The war affected every aspect of life, from food rationing to propaganda, and required the participation and sacrifice of all citizens.
