Which of the following campaigns were fought using the total war strategy? 1)shenandoah valley campaign 2)sherman’s march to the sea 3)siege of petersburg

The correct answer is: 2) Sherman's March to the Sea

The term “total war” was first coined in 1927 by Italian General Guilio Douhet. Douhet  who described total war as “the entire population and all the resources of a nation are sucked into the  maw of war.

Sherman’s strategy was cutting off his supply lines and foraging off the land through  which his troops traveled left Georgia and the Carolinas with no food, livestock, and, in many  cases, homes. Sherman effectively destroyed not only the economy of the South but the morale  of Confederate forces. This is why total war is effective. It destroys  the enemy’s resources on every front. The economy is destroyed, morale is crushed, and the  enemy’s ability to effectively field an army is utterly obliterated.
