Area Bombing

Area bombing is a military strategy that involves dropping bombs over large geographic regions rather than targeting specific military sites or threats. Its goal is to damage the broader infrastructure, economy, and morale of the enemy. This approach often results in widespread destruction and civilian casualties, as it doesn't discriminate between military and non-military areas. Historically used in conflicts like World War II, area bombing aimed to weaken an opponent's capacity to continue fighting by creating chaos and forcing surrender through extensive destruction.
