A total war is a war in which anything and everything is fair game because everything aids the war effort. So, each side was technically allowed to destroy cities and kill civilians as long as they believed it helped the war effort. Total war was brutally followed out especially by the German U-Boats during ww1 and they became infamous for sinking passenger ships and more specifically the Lusitania, which brought the U.S. into the war.
