Category - Interwar

Which of the following military tactics was introduced in the Spanish Civil War?
  1. The use of chemical weapons
  2. Saturation bombing
  3. The concentration camp
  4. Widespread espionage
  5. Air combat
Explanation
Answer: B - Saturation bombing was introduced during the Spanish Civil War. This unprecedented destruction foreshadowed the devastation Europeans would inflict upon one another in World War II. The concentration camp had been used in the Spanish-American war and the Boer War, and automatic weapons had been around since the American Civil War. The flying aces of World War I engaged in aerial combat, although the use of airplanes in war would shift to bombings and transport by World War II.
