The tactic originated during World War II with the use of strategic bombing to destroy the ability of the enemy to wage war.
The use of a mixture of bombers carrying high explosive bombs, such as the British blockbuster bombs, which blew out windows and roofs and exposed the interior of buildings to the incendiary bombs, are much more effective.
During the strategic bombings of World War II [2] this technique was as effective on Hamburg [3], Tokyo [4], and Dresden [5] as the atomic bombs that were used against Japanese cities.

The key development for the bombing of Japan was the B-29, which had an operational range of 1500 miles (2,400 km); almost 90% of the bombs dropped on the home islands of Japan were delivered by this type of bomber (147,000 short tons, 133,000 metric tons).
Unlike the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which were at least partially intended to force Japan to capitulate immediately, fire-bombing, which killed more civilians in total, was carried out as a long-term strategy to destroy Japan's ability to produce war materials as well as to undermine the Japanese government's will to continue the war.
In the context of total war, the large number of Japanese civilians killed by strategic bombing was seen as acceptable by the American administration.

The bombing of Dresden, while it was one of the more devastating conventional attacks of the war, was part of a policy of leveling cities and breaking the civilian ability to resist.
Bombing was also regarded as a means of breaking the connection between Germans and the Nazi Party, which seemed, to the Allied leadership, to have an almost unbelievable degree of control over the minds and attitudes of the citizens of the Reich.

The bombing of Dresden by the British Royal Air Force (RAF) and the United States Army Air Force (USAAF) between February 13 and February 15, 1945 remains one of the more controversial events of World War II.
Dresden was known as Elbflorenz, or Florence on the Elbe, regarded as a beautiful city and a cultural centre, with noted architecture in the Zwinger Palace, the Dresden State Opera House, and the Dresden Frauenkirche, its historic cathedral.
The memory of Dresden does ensure that the horrors of war are not forgotten, but the fact that these horrors were visited on German civilians by Allied bomber squads could have bred a desire for revenge as easily as pacifism.
