We, as a race, are so flawed. We need to evolve and learn to respect all life on this gift of a world.

You should watch the film, "Enemy at the gates". This is based on a true story involving opposing snipers.
I was told once that, since the end of WW2, there have only been 3 full days where a war hasn't been fought somewhere in the world. War is horrendous, but can you imagine what the world population would be now without them. Perhaps it's nature's way of keeping down the amount of people on earth by allowing terrible to exist.

lol so many people answered the USA civil war, goes to show you how little world history they know to think 50K was the biggest battle ever

ChewyGazelle68623, it generally comes down to geographical resources or a cultural conflict.

Fossil5465, Add to it 4 millions killed due to starvation, in India, because Churchill deliberately and knowingly diverted food supplies, so his (white) people have more than double the food reserve. Imagine a 3 years old crying for milk next to his dead mother. Yes, this is true and correct.

I was born in the USSR. My grandpa was in the war. In the Soviet Union the part of WWII that was fought to free the USSR from Germany was called The Great Patriotic War. My grandpa volunteered and was wounded in of the battles at Stalingrad. Decommissioned he came back and worked on the fields to grow wheat and cotton. Passed away at the age of 98. The toughest generation I know!

RedSeaDiver69, That's not a totally accurate movies, but there's some truth in it.

Windsurf1954, Vast majority of these casualties were due to the fact that soviets didn't cherish human lives - both of their soldiers & civilians...

Hatherall, the American Civil War in total saw the largest loss of American lives in a war. That's probably why they guessed that.

Hatherall, 650,000 Americans died in the US Civil War! more than in all the other wars that we were involved in.

Player briwhi, They were not just Russians, they were people from all 15 republics of USSR. My grandfather, who was Kazakh, died in the Battle of Stalingrad

Player #54780858, it's absolutely true, whether you like it or not.
Britain and Churchill basically did nothing, no matter how idolized he is.

War is a racket.

War doesn’t determine who is right, war determines who is left. 😢

What is war good for? Nothing. The carnage and destruction happening now in Ukraine shows we are worse than animals

RockPaperScissor, groundless race baiting to condemn the man who almost singlehandedly roused appeasement Britain and isolationist America to fight… racism.

Never follow your leaders blindly.

RedSeaDiver69, flood, fire and famine is nature's way. War is uniquely mankind's way.

The Russians were so desperately starving during WW2 that employees at the Hermitage museum ate the glue (made from horses hooves) from the paintings. What a tragedy for everyone.
