      FPBP. For real. They created a mountain of human skeletons, raped all the women, took all their treasure, dragged the fucker out of his palace, shoved him under the floor of their tent, and danced on his body until he was crushed. The Khans were not to be fucked with.

      Indeed, those were absolutely awful. For the Europe, the 30 Years War takes the cake imo (only WW2 surpasses it I think). If we're talking about the entire World, the worst of the worst is probably Chinese tho. The Taping Rebellion is a good candidate

        Taiping Rebellion was crazy. Gigantic place battles mostly with melee weapons and blackpowder rifles. Chinese gov't coming into Taiping-associated cities, forming the entire populace into orderly lines, and cutting off every single head at the end of the line. Piles of bodies 40ft high. So much blood from mass executions that the roads turned into impassable mud. Starvation frome widespread famine bc all the farmers were killed. Whole countrysides becoming literal ghost towns. Taiping was fucking whack.

      War of the Tripple Alliance holds the record for someone refusing to give up beyond the point of anything even resembling sanity.

      That's the Taiping Rebellion. Depending on what estimates for death toll you use, these fuckers killed more Chinese in 15 years than the KMT warlords, Commies and Japs managed to kill in 25.

            those weren't actually medieval people, the period is usually referred to as post-medieval or early modern age. that's when most well known torture tools were invented and most witch hunts took place, unlike the popular perception.

      Aside from killing an absolutely ridiculous share of the population, the Thirty Years War had a lot of torture. The Swedes used to force captured prisoners' mouths open to funnel their dysentery shits into them.

      Plus, it's right on the heels of the Huegnot Wars, which killed 25% of France (World Wars were a small fraction of that). And that's not even all the wars of religion, the whole era is fucked.

        And yet people still shrug and say "mistakes were made on all sides, no way Prots were the force of Antichrist."

        Then again, what do you expect when one side's moral authority comes almost entirely from priests and monks who forsook their oaths and began lustful relations with nuns.

        The killings, the nuns raped, the destruction of Church, a specific focus on destroying sacred art and spaces, what more do you need?

        Did the Church use force? Sure. But when confronted with violence Holy Mother Church has every right to defend herself from the forces of Satan.

Dams getting knocked out killing hundreds id thousands in floods. The Jap mayhem with their budget bio weapons. Spill over from the Russian Civil War, etc.

        At one point it was believed that the An Lushan rebellion killed around 1/3 to 2/3s of the population of northern China, but that was mostly due to the way the numbers were calculated (tax figures / census, which understandably broke down somewhat as the Tang dynasty collapsed).

    We used to have stick wars as a kid. Basically just collect a bunch of sticks roughly baton sized. Then we stand on opposite sides of a small creek surrounded by trees and wing them at each other. Managed to dodge them all myself but my one neighbor kid was a bit chubby and slow and took a few sticks to the face and body. So yeah that.

      The fact that chemical weapons were used and the casualties is like 2,000,000+ puts it up there as one of the more fucked up conflicts of the 20th century.

      Or for entire war WW2. If you mean kind of series but still same conflict on and off Justinian Plague Battles. Never ending kind of skirmishes kept popping up all dealing with the plague. Humanity kept have population declined because of how constant they became until the plague waves stopped. Humanity at tmes was on the verge of nearly going extinct things were getting so bad with the plagues taking out 75%-80. percent of the smaller trading towns every year. It appears the viruses mutated towards less lethality before they really got to Rome. It was a mixture of viruses, bacteria,, climate and diet issues. This kept the ears going but it is barely kind of taught. I mean is anyone going to remember Grenada in 1500 years

    Pretty much any pre-modern Asian war or Bronze age war were brutal, most of them were no-quarter, rape the survivors (regardless of gender), ethnically cleanse and then salt the fields type conflicts. Even later wars like those fought by Rome could be inhumanly brutal. There are claims that the First Crusade resulted in a river-like flow of blood through the city of Jerusalem, as the Crusaders basically massacred the population within to a man.

    If you're talking more modern wars, comparatively the Yugoslav wars were brutal, you had ethnic cleansing, mass rape, looting etc, although this was only brutal as it was done in Europe, in Africa that is a Tuesday. Probably for Europe though, the Spanish Civil War takes the cake.
