Saturation bombing aimed to inflict widespread destruction on enemy infrastructure and civilian morale by targeting large areas, often regardless of military necessity, to overwhelm the enemy's capacity to fight. In contrast, strategic bombing focused on specific military targets, such as supply lines and industrial centers, to disrupt the enemy's war-making capabilities more precisely. While both strategies sought to weaken the enemy, saturation bombing emphasized sheer volume and terror, whereas strategic bombing prioritized targeted destruction to achieve long-term military objectives.
