Total war is a military strategy that involves not only the engagement of armed forces but also the mobilization of a nation's entire resources and civilian infrastructure to support the war effort. This strategy was notably instituted by Union General William Tecumseh Sherman during the American Civil War, particularly exemplified in his "March to the Sea." By targeting not just enemy combatants but also the economic and psychological capacity of the South, total war aimed to break the will of the Confederacy. This approach significantly contributed to the Union's victory by hastening the collapse of Southern resistance and weakening its ability to sustain the war.
