What does it mean when World War 1 is referred to as a "total war"

History

Answer: Total war among industrialized nations meant that everyone was considered a combatant, including civilians.

Explanation:

Each side tried to starve the other into submission by sealing off foreign trade, often by sinking commercial vessels and passenger liners. Intentional destruction extended well beyond the battlefields. Occupied cities saw their cultural monuments—cathedrals, museums, historic buildings—systematically destroyed.  Total war among industrialized nations meant that everyone was considered a combatant, including civilians. Each nation engaged in the war talked regularly  about God, duty, sacrifice, patriotism, and honor, but the arbitrary horrors  and wastefulness of World War I involved dishonorable actions and  decisions that we have yet to understand but cannot forget.

Each person had his or her role during the war where the males who were fit for the military were sent to battle. Women were sent to factories where they started to ignite the production of the economic base, they became nurses, held the weapons and also constructed the warships. The children also worked in factories.

10. What splits the Eastern plateau?
nekit [7.7K]

Answer: Mountains (IF THIS IS AFRICA)

Explanation: . It is subdivided into a number of zones running north and south and consisting in turn of mountain ranges, tablelands and hollows. The most striking feature is the existence of two great lines of hollows, due largely to the subsidence of whole segments of the Earth's crust, the lowest parts of which are occupied by vast lakes. Towards the south the two lines converge and give place to one great valley (occupied by Lake Nyasa, or Lake Malawi), the southern part of which is less distinct due to rifting and subsidence than the rest of the system.

Did the Tsar’s rule improve after 1905
Trava [24]

Answer:

Tsarism was threatened by the 1905 Revolution but Nicholas II remained staunchly committed to the autocracy. As a result, the events of 1905 were followed by a period of tsarist reaction led by chief minister Pyotr Stolypin, where promised reforms were wound back and revolutionary groups were suppressed.
