The same category, a second time
- World War II was a total war. Governments again used political propaganda, art, media and intensified forms of nationalism to mobilise populations.
- And again both in the home countries and the colonies or former colonies — the CED updates the phrase to include former colonies.
- So the comparison with 7.3 is built into the CED's own repeated wording.
Select all the things new in the CED's account of World War II mobilisation.

Propaganda was already used in World War I — that is the similarity.
What is new: ideology as a tool
- Governments used ideologies, including fascism and communism, to mobilise all of their state's resources for war.
- That is the difference from 1914: an ideology organises the whole society, not only its opinion of the enemy.
- And, in the case of totalitarian states, to repress basic freedoms and dominate many aspects of daily life during the course of the conflicts and beyond.
Select all the causes of increased casualties the CED names.

A weapon, a tactic and a doctrine — three different kinds of cause.
Democracies and totalitarian states, compared
- The CED supplies both sides: Great Britain under Winston Churchill and the United States under Franklin Roosevelt; Germany under Adolf Hitler and the USSR under Joseph Stalin.
- All four mobilised propaganda, industry and manpower; only the second pair also repressed basic freedoms as part of the method.
- That is a similarity and a difference — which is exactly what the objective asks for.

Hitler and Stalin are the CED's totalitarian examples.
"The waging of total war" is listed as a cause of casualties, not only as a description. The CED puts it beside the atomic bomb and fire-bombing — a doctrine that treats a society as a target produces casualties in the same way a weapon does.
The CED updates its mobilisation phrase to include colonies or ____ colonies.

Which is a small change that records a large one.
Technology and tactics raised the toll
- New military technology and new tactics, including the atomic bomb, fire-bombing, and the waging of "total war", led to increased levels of wartime casualties.
- The CED lists a weapon, a tactic, and a doctrine — three different kinds of cause in one clause.
- The waging of total war is itself listed as a cause of casualties, because it made civilians part of the target.

Both halves are in the CED's own sentence.
Similarities and differences
- The objective is similarities and differences in how governments used a variety of methods to conduct war.
- Similarities: propaganda, art, media, nationalism, colonial mobilisation, industrial production — in every case.
- Differences: ideology as an organising principle, and repression of basic freedoms in totalitarian states.
Four governments run poster campaigns, control the press and direct their factories. Two of them also make membership of a party the condition of a career and police what people may say at home. The first list is the similarity; the second is the difference, and both are in the CED's sentence.
World War II was a total war, mobilised by propaganda, art, media and intensified nationalism in home countries and colonies or former colonies. New: ideologies including fascism and communism mobilised all of a state's resources, and totalitarian states repressed basic freedoms and dominated daily life. New technology and tactics — the atomic bomb, fire-bombing and the waging of total war — raised casualties.
