Answer:

Grant and Sherman used the strategy of total war to shorten the war in their favor, using the many deaths of enemies to save lives on their side. We may never know if more would've died if they didn't use the tactic, but in my opinion civilian lives were not theirs to take. Soldiers agreed to die, but civilians didn't, making total war, in my opinion, not right. Others may say that their lives were a necessary sacrifice towards a common goal, but, in my opinion, if one side uses total war, can't the other side use it too for a horrible end? Form your own opinion, but that is mine.

What are two main causes of the bitter rivalry between the Ottoman and Safavid empires?
Anestetic [448]
<span>The Ottomans and Safavids have fought each other mainly because the Ottomans were Sunni Muslim and the Safavids were Shiite Muslim. They also fought each other because expanding borders is part of what sustains the economy of these two empires. As a result of conflict between these two empires, each empire's economy was depleted because it spent so much on wars that ended up not helping the empire in any way. This partially contributed to the decline of these two empires. </span>
