During which major conflict did U.S. troops undertake the "March to the Sea"?

The "March to the Sea" refers specifically to a military campaign led by Union General William Tecumseh Sherman during the American Civil War. This campaign began in November 1864 and involved a large-scale movement of troops from Atlanta, Georgia, to the coastal city of Savannah. The purpose of this campaign was to demonstrate the strength of Union forces, disrupt the Confederacy's supply lines, and weaken Southern morale through a tactic known as "total war," which aimed to cause destruction of both military and civilian resources that could support the Confederate war effort.

Sherman's troops inflicted significant damage on infrastructure, including railroads and factories, and lived off the land, further contributing to the South's struggles. The successful outcome of the "March to the Sea" played a pivotal role in hastening the end of the Civil War, making it a landmark moment in American military history.

In contrast, the other conflicts mentioned, such as World War I, World War II, and the Spanish-American War, involved different military strategies, goals, and contexts that do not include this specific campaign led by Sherman. This distinguishes the Civil War from these subsequent conflicts where "March to the Sea" is not applicable.
