All Answers 1

Answered by GPT-5 mini AI
- Nature and goals of the fighting: WWI was largely a conflict among European great powers over territory, alliances, and balance-of-power issues; WWII was driven much more by ideological movements (Nazism, fascism, Japanese militarism) and included deliberate genocidal policies (the Holocaust) and conquest for racial/imperial goals.

- Technology, tactics, and scale of destruction: WWII featured far more advanced and mobile warfare (tanks, widespread use of aircraft, strategic bombing of cities, amphibious operations, and ultimately atomic bombs), produced much higher military and civilian casualties, and caused greater destruction across Europe, Asia, and the Pacific than WWI.
