Strategic bombing is a military strategy aimed at destroying an enemy's ability to wage war by targeting key infrastructure, such as factories, transportation networks, and supply lines. This approach seeks to weaken the enemy's economy and morale, making it difficult for them to sustain military operations. During World War II, strategic bombing was notably employed by the Allies against Germany and Japan. Notable campaigns included the bombing of Dresden and the use of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. These actions aimed to hasten the end of the war by crippling the enemy's industrial capabilities and civilian support for the conflict.
