Total war during World War 1 meant that the government had to make difficult decisions - not all good or positive - in order to support the war effort and maintain a relative calmness inside the country.

The government had to make rationing measures in order to save the resources and sent the proper supply to the troops at the war front. It has to make mandatory conscription in order to recruit more people to be part of the Army. The government controlled what the citizens should know about the real situation of the war in order to keep the morale high and never cause any panic. Some times lied, some times it shared half the truth. The government censored information. Through the use of propaganda, it wanted to encourage the people and let them know the war effort was well worth it.
