- Attrition warfare is when both sides of the conflict cannot make a proper advance, so it comes down to whichever side has more resources as they both fight one another and whittle their resources.
- Attrition warfare is a very slow-burn and costly tactic, not only causing the loss of lots of resources, but lives of people as well as soldiers fail to make an advance.
- For example attrition warfare was used during the later half of the Great War, where both sides of the war.
- Great Britain and France couldn’t make a powerful advance against Germany, however as the conflict was already 2 to 1, and with support from the U.S.A. they would win due to their abundant resources and troops.
- This led Germany to surrender soon after, as even though enemy soldiers hadn't set foot in their territory, defeat was still inevitable. Thus surrendering saved lots of lives for both sides.
