I do stand by the fact that WWI was more brutal. Don't get me wrong:The Second World War was horrific, but think about it from the soldier's eyes. Which is more brutal:sitting in a diseased ridden trench while your comrades just get picked off one by one and having to sit there for months with artillery bombardments and stalemate, or moving quickly on a tank rolling through N.Africa? Would you rather be completely demoralized and feel unpatriotic about the country which you're fighting for or be nationalistic and believe in your country's cause? Would you rather be fed with food that is half sawdust, or be fed actual rations? Etc, etc. In terms of numbers, WWII is much worse. In terms of atrocities, WWII is much much worse. But in terms of the men on the front, WWI is by far more brutal. I'd rather sit in my house and play EW4 |

Worse is subjective.
WW2 is worse in terms of death.
WW1 is worse by experience.
WW1 is worse in terms of necessity.

I'd say WWII because it affected a larger portion of the war.

For me, I would say neither. Both were worse in different ways.

Ooh I was sassy back in the day. Mmmm, probably still am. I'd say the worse war was WW2.

Now that I think of it, if you see WW2 as a continuation of WW1, wouldn't voting for WW1 cover both WWs?

This is a tough question to answer. Which war is worse in terms of what?
WWII has had the most civilian casualties to date for any war. But WWI had less motives to fuel it, which makes it seem pointless.

For Classical Antiquity? The Peloponnesian. No conflict in such time, such ferocity and brutality can be comparable as the Second World War.
