What is the difference between a limited war and a total war? (1 point)
• Limited war focuses on destroying the enemy and has a limited goal. With total war, the goals are not limited and are often numerous and specific.
Limited war does not target cvilians or infrastructure because of the rules of engagement that both sides agree to ahead of time. Total war does not have agreed-upon rules of engagement
• Limited war targets civilians and infrastructure because it has a limited scope of focus, while total war targets everything because it has no focus.
Limited war does not target civilians or infrastructure because the invading force is pianning to keep the land they conquer. With a total war, those limits do not exist because the goal is destruction of the enemy.
• In a limited war, there is often a desire to avoid escalation and minimize collateral damage, while in a total war, there is a willingness to use any means necessary to achieve victory, including targeting civilians and infrastructure.
• Limited wars are typically fought between nation-states with specific political or territorial objectives, while total wars involve a complete mobilization of resources and societies towards achieving ultimate victory.
• Limited wars tend to have clear boundaries and are often conducted within a defined timeframe, while total wars have no such limitations and can drag on indefinitely.
