Question

world war i is sometimes called a total war. why?
even people who werent soldiers were targeted by the enemy.
every country in the world fought in the war.
the total cost of the war was equal to the total amount of money in each countrys treasury.
all european men, no matter what age, were forced to fight.

Explanation:

A total war involves the full mobilization of a nation’s resources and targets both military and civilian populations. The first option aligns with this: civilians (non-soldiers) were targeted (e.g., through blockades, air raids). The second option is false (not all countries fought). The third is unrealistic (war costs didn’t equal entire treasuries). The fourth is incorrect (not all European men of any age were forced to fight).

Answer:

Even people who weren't soldiers were targeted by the enemy.
