Strategic bombing is a military tactic that involves targeting an enemy's infrastructure, industry, and civilian resources to weaken their ability to wage war. This approach aims to disrupt supply chains, destroy factories, and diminish morale, ultimately leading to a quicker end to conflict. Historically, strategic bombing has been used in various conflicts, including World War II, where campaigns targeted cities like Dresden and Tokyo. The effectiveness and ethical implications of such tactics continue to be debated, as they often result in significant civilian casualties and destruction.
