In terms of bloodshed, excessive gore, no honor or salute towards a dead enemy, lack of self control, and little to no remorse or self thought for one’s actions?
Probably some prehistoric shit we'll never know about
>>534599161American Civil war still had honor, same with the Great War. I'd say Russia v Ukraine. Mainly from drone warfare alone
Eastern Front in WW2 was absolutely gruesome. Some Chinese war probably tops it though.
>>534599303Ukraine-Russia War is bad when it comes to how dehumanizing drone warfare can be but you don't hear of things like mass killings of POWs or units walking through villages and shooting everyone on sight.For modern standards it really isn't that bad, we just see a lot of footage. If we had that kind of footage during the Iran-Iraq War, you would genuinely get mass PTSD in Western civilian populations.

>>534599161probably some random chinese war, but outside of that ww1 and the iran iraq war
>>534599244>prehistoricplanet newer was this much populated at prehistoric
>>534599161India's humiliation vs Pakistan last year. The izzat points will never be redeemed.
>>534599161probs rhodesia
>>534599161the assiyrians were ruthless. other than that everybody fought with honor.
Not a war, but the bantu expansion in Africa. It was almost a total genocide at a Continental level.
French Foreign Legion
>>534599161War really doesnt get more hardcore than ww2. You had all the depravities of pre-modern conflicts but with industrial efficiency and scale, pretty much everywhere other than the western front
>>534600975WW1, before the geneva convention, but most people don't remember that. All sorts of crazy shit was used in addition to the various types of death gassesJust watching the videos of veterans from WW1 suffering from shell shock is enough to tell you how horrific things got
>>534599161Top 5 are Chinese wars youve never heard of.
>>53459916130 years war
>>534600206Thanks for the ESL post perfectly composed to inspire interest midway through only to reach the end and be like "wait, what?"
>>534601519this (not counting the World Wars)
>>534601519Good times

>>534599161Some chinese war over some piss-stone
>>534599161first world war (still ongoing)
>>534599161WW1 without doubts. Maybe Russian-Ukraine war will surpass the horror, it already surpassed WW1 in longevity.
>>534599454>>534600186>>534601255>>534604555Taiping Rebellion, started by the brother of Jesus Christ
Probably the fall of the Sima Jin dynasty: War of the Eight Princes + Uprising of the Five Barbarians + Sixteen Kingdoms in 4th century China. I don't recall another period in history where armies manoeuvred and chased each other in order to eat the enemy because there was nothing else to eat but people.The Thirty Years War, the Greco-Turkish War, the Mongol conquest of Iran and the Timurid conquests were also grimdark in the sense that no quarter was given or expected.
literally every post ITT is wrong>hunderes of years long racial war ending in the extremination of multiple cultures and peoples using hyper advanced technology and giant mutant beasts from the steppethe first war was the worst war. the yamnya expansions. /thread
>>534604741Knew it chinks are something else man
>>534599161WWII by far, the atrocities against civilians remains unmatched, every German and Japanese city that was bombed was like a Gaza of today in terms of destruction, maybe even more.
Any war involving Romans. They were sadistic cruel sons of bitches.
