    53,000,000 deaths, WW2.

    Been nothing remotely like it since. Especially in the West, as the author has noted.

    Oh I dunno, my uncle spent some time in Bosnia. Long enough to know playing death count games is what you do if you have the luxury of never being in a conflict.

    I mean neither have I but I know what that does to my credibility when playing armchair general.

    Please love yourself.

      By death count alone, WW2 really wasn't a western war. China lost 20 million, and Russia another 24 million, although admittedly they were fighting a western nation.

      I was only joking

        What is a war?

        War is defined as an active conflict that has claimed more than 1,000 lives.

        Has the world ever been at peace?

        Of the past 3,400 years, humans have been entirely at peace for 268 of them, or just 8 percent of recorded history.

        How many people have died in war?

        At least 108 million people were killed in wars in the twentieth century. Estimates for the total number killed in wars throughout all of human history range from 150 million to 1 billion.

                    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                      Every time you post that it brings me right back to high school Latin class.

                            Indeed I did.

                            How about:

                            plectrologium or Computatrum tincidunt
