Britain was the first combatant to face total war due to the bombing of its capital, London, by enemy aircraft during the Battle of Britain in 1940. Germany had already faced significant bombing in its cities during the Spanish Civil War and early campaigns of World War II, but had not yet experienced total war on its territory. Italy was also bombed by Allied aircraft, but did not face the same level of sustained and intense bombing as Britain. France and the Soviet Union faced significant damage and destruction during the war, but were not the first to face total war due to bombing of their capitals.
