Does it? WWII was less bloody than WW1, and nothing since has had anywhere near as many deaths.
- ojbyrne 3y ago“Less bloody” is nowhere close to true. World War II casualties: 70-85 million https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualties https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualties World War I casualties: 40 million https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I_casualties https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I_casualties
