		Small-scale bombing raids had occurred during World War I using German airships, but World War II saw the advent of city or area bombing on an unprecedented scale.
		Initially the bombing runs were made by day, but after Germany failed to establish its superiority in the air in the Battle of Britain, the raids switched to the night.
		In addition, many supporters of Harris argue that World War II was a ‘total war’, and that it is unfair to criticize the targeting of areas with large civilian populations, as the divisions between civilian and military targets were not clear cut.

		In World War II, the British RAF Bomber Command and the USAAF XXI Bomber Command both engaged in the aerial bombing of cities.
		The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not conducted to terrorise the civilian Japanese, although this was an inevitable outcome of the use of such a terrible weapon, but to persuade the Japanese government that further resistance was futile.
		War is the animal fight for survival, and therefore whatever warring parties do in war surely holds no bounds or surprises, and one can expect the victor of such a confrontation to write the rules of civilisation again, including biassed ones against the previous enemy.

		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 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 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.

		In World War II the British RAF Bomber Command and the USAAF XXI Bomber Command both engaged in the aerial bombing of cities, which although they did not specifically targeting civilians, they did target civilian housing and other civilian infastructure which was known to cause a large loss of life among civilians.
		However after the resilience of Londoners under the Blitz and the failures of Operation Gomorrah (the bombing of Hamburg) and the Battle of Berlin to break the morale of the Germans, this was realised to be unrealistic by all but the most ardent advocates of area bombardment like Arthur (Bomber) Harris.
		The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was a policy not so much to terrorise the civilian Japanese, although this was an inevitable outcome of the use of such a terrible weapon, but to persuade the Japanese government that further resistance was futile.
