Strategic Bombing Theory

Strategic Bombing Theory is a military strategy focusing on attacking an enemy’s infrastructure, economy, and vital targets instead of just front-line troops. Its goal is to weaken the enemy’s ability to continue fighting by disrupting supply lines, manufacturing, and morale. The theory suggests that sustained, precise bombing campaigns can force the opponent to surrender or collapse without direct ground combat. It became prominent during World War II, where Allied forces aimed to target factories, transportation hubs, and communication centers to hasten victory and reduce overall combat casualties.
