One political decision made by the Axis powers to mobilize its population in World War II was the implementation of a total war strategy. This decision aimed at fully utilizing all available resources and manpower to support the war effort. However, the axis powers failed to effectively coordinate and allocate these resources, leading to inefficiencies and shortages in critical areas such as food and fuel. Additionally, the decision to heavily rely on forced labor and the conscription of civilians resulted in widespread human rights abuses and discontent among the population. Finally, the propaganda used by the axis powers to mobilize its population often relied on misleading and manipulative techniques, which undermined trust and further alienated the population.
