Lots of victims, but they are not called wars. Probably because they are too long and consist of many smaller events that are actually called wars.
Of course the scale of injury is not comparable to what's possible with weapons of mass destruction in 20 century, so I suppose WWII tops the above, but if adjusted for capability... Just imagine
