Question 1 • RS AZ-US History A

What is “total war”?

Answer
A
A military strategy in which only military targets are attacked.
B
A phrase coined to describe Lee’s strategy in the Civil War.
C
A military strategy in which military and civilian resources are destroyed.

Explanation

Total war is a strategy that uses a society’s full resources to defeat the enemy, including attacks on both military and civilian resources. Therefore, choice C, “a military strategy in which military and civilian resources are destroyed,” is correct. Choice A is too narrow because it limits attacks to military targets.
