A) every industrialized Nation participated in the war in some way or another
B) government's housed refugees, restricted some civil rights, and use technology
C) government's took control of economies, restricted some and civil rights, and drafted meant fight

Answer 1

The answer is C.

In a state of"total war", participating countries take control of their economics, and divert all efforts towards the war.
People are drafted into the military so that's there's enough available soldiers.
Oh, and some civil rights, though hopefully not many, are restricted.
