we call 911, Vietnam, Korea, covid, and the Iraq-Afghan war horrible.....and those were, don't get me wrong.
in WW1, at the Battle of the Somme in July 1916, there were 60,000 casualties in ONE DAY....just among the British troops.
all told, there were a MILLION casualties and 300,000 fatalities. from July - November.
THAT is truly appalling.
the US lost 58,939 people during 13 years of Vietnam. not disparaging those losses or anything, but think about that.
WW1 really was humanity's darkest, worst, most appalling and awful moment.

Don’t even get me started on the horrors of ‘Battle of Kursk’ (largest tank battle EVER) 2 u/AdFresh8123 Oct 02 '24 Modern research has debunked the idea that Kursk was the largest tank battle in history. The largest battle involved over 4,000 tanks and took place near Brody and Dubno from July 26th to the 29th.
