Total war was a time in which countries devoted all their resources for war efforts.
In WW1, the government took over the economy using 'total war' by ordering factories what they should produce and how much of it. Goods were in such short supply because of the war that goods had to be rationed which was when people could buy small amounts of items that were needed for war.

Women in war

WWI- The Major Provisions of the Treaty of Versailles were League of Nations, Territorial Losses, Military Restrictions, and War Guilt. These Provisions had a lot of countries angry, especially Germany. Throughout Africa, and Asia, people in the mandated territories were angry at the way the Allies disregarded their desire for independence. The European powers, it seemed to them, merely talked about the principle of national self-determination. These provisions later set a foundation for the next huge war, WWII.
WWII- The United Nations is a group of 48 nations that all set aside whatever differences they had, in order to protect the members against aggression. At the United Nations, the US came up with the idea to punish specific criminals while aiding its former enemies. This idea was different then the treaty of Versailles because, it was not as harsh to these countries and it even gave other countries a way to stabilize.

Influenza or also known as the Spanish flu, had hit England and India and had soon spread to Europe, Russia, and the United States through the war. The disease not only killed many soldiers, but many civilians too. The disease killed 12 million  people. The disease was incredibly destructive that by the end of the war, had killed 20 million people globally. Not only did Influenza kill many people, but so did starvation and slaughter as the agricultural production was disrupted during the war. Weapons were more advanced which meant the death rate would go even higher than any wars before this one.
WW2-
The advancement of technology meant that not only soldiers would die in this war, but also civilians. People also died of diseases and lack of food as well. What also caused so many deaths was the mass killing of Jews known as the Holocaust as part of Nazi Germany's regime.
WW1 and WW2- Genocide:
During World War 1, the Ottoman Empire started the mass murder of Armenians, committing the first genocide of the twentieth century. The Turkish government made it their mission to wipe out the entire Armenian population out of the Ottoman Empire.

This New Nationalism was built around a common enemy, Jewish people. The Germans were embedding the idea that the Jewish were threatening their National Security. With this came the horrible acts of Germans towards the Jewish.

The belief that a country should uphold a strong military capability

In Japan militarists wanted to restore the traditional control of the government to the military instead of establishing a new system like other places were doing. The militarists also kept the Emperor as a symbol of state power to win popular support for the army leaders who governed under Emperor Hirohito's name. These militarist were extreme nationalists, they wanted to better their country's economy through the act of foreign expansion. Soon enough the Japanese took over Northern China, though they had been defeated in battle Chinese guerillas started to form and would continue to fight against the Japanese.

WWI Trench Warfare: Both side would dig trenches and would live, eat, and survive in those trenches until those battles were over and fights were over. The trenches would span miles. The trenches were miserable as the soldiers constantly worried about death of either disease or by the opposition. They used a lot of different weapons like bombs, machine guns, and single shot weapons that really couldn't shoot that fast at all. They sometimes shot only 3 shots per minute depending on the soldier.

WWII Blitzkrieg Warfare: The fighting style of the Germans in WWII was significantly different than the style in WWI. For the most part their strategy was to use a bunch of fast moving artillery to get the job done fast and kind of sneakily. They also had upgraded weaponry that could shoot more round per minute than the previous war.
