Detailed explanation-1: -One of the main ways the war affected civilians was a shortage of food. Agriculture felt the strain of war; production declined and prices rose. As a grocer’s assistant in Yorkshire, Walter Hare soon noticed there was less food available. Now, the first thing we were short of was sugar.
Detailed explanation-2: -The home front of the United States in World War I saw a systematic mobilization of the entire population and the entire economy to produce the soldiers, food supplies, munitions, and money needed to win the war.
Detailed explanation-3: -Total war is a type of warfare that includes any and all civilian-associated resources and infrastructure as legitimate military targets, mobilizes all of the resources of society to fight the war, and gives priority to warfare over non-combatant needs.
Detailed explanation-4: -Economically, World War I was considered a “total war” because it involved a complete mobilization of resources. This ended up meaning that countries adopted planned economies that produced weapons and goods to support the frontlines of the war effort.
