Total War is the total engagement of a nation's economic, social, cultural, and political capital in the war. Britain did engage all sides of its capital in the war effort and was successful in its allocation of it. They had to fill posts left by men who had gone to war with women and every side of life had to relate to the campaign. In my opinion the First World War was a 'Total War' …showed first 75 words of 1972 total…

…showed last 75 words of 1972 total…for worse, many things had to change for a chance of success. Britain engaged its resources sensibly but was still stretched to find enough of everything to win. Women played a major role in the war effort and their help back home was just as important as those on the front line. There is not one thing that during that period did not relate to the war effort and everything that was possible, was done.
