What do you think was the most brutal war in history?

[@bigbozo4888]

Probably Normandy

[@bigbozo4888]

Or Okinawa

[@ragnarthorson2066]

anything with the mongols. roughly 11% of the global population killed

[@B1Boomer]

The conquests by the Mongolians.

[@germ_tb3_gm088]

Pretty recent compared to most typical answer but Vietnam for sure

[@LordBaldur]

I'd argue that the 30 years war was the most brutal war. They killed each other until there was nothing left and then they kept fighting.

[@funnyjupiter4499]

i agree, i don't know if it is the most brutal war in all of history but it is definitely up there among the most brutal wars.

[@bc_7644]

Well the Chinese had their own bloody wars, that were in the tens of millions, like the An Lushan rebellion during the Tang Dynasty

[@johnwalsh4857]

and on top of that people in Central and Western Europe were suffering from famine , plagues, marauding bandits, yep horrible war.

[@Siegbert85]

The 30 years war at least had the most cruel methods... ever heard of Schwedentrunk? (Swedish Drink). Look it up

I feel like World War 1 was more brutal and should have the title of the most brutal war in history. Roughly estimated 20 million dead and 23 million wounded in just 4 years. And that's without huge city destroying bombs, jets, or true weapons of mass destructions.

[@carsonpearce5980]

**watches intro** “I see I have found another fine product of American public education”

[@Archon3960]

Since most of the brutalities were either invented or glorified by chroniclers, I'd say the Crusades were not the most brutal _wars_ in History. Jerusalem even got bought back without any bloodshed once. As for the most brutal wars, I'd pick either WW1, the Sengoku Jidai, any chinese civil war or the Punic Wars.

[@ibekingape]

2:55 "So, we might be going back in the past a little bit." Who would have expected that on a history video

[@jackkingsman2758]

Not sure if that is old enough history to be covered here, but Internet Historian's Costa Concordia or the Swedish Heist video are very well made. I think you would enjoy them. He branches into gaming history too, the Fallout 76 video is as good as his Varus videos or Cost of Concordia.

[@iseream1390]

You remind me of my American History teacher. I have much respect for your respect of history. Our youth needs more educators like you.

[@johnwalsh4857]

also WW1 and WW2 very very brutal, one can say that WW2 was just a continuation of WW1 with the years from 1918 to 1939 being a peace intermission. and the Eastern front in WW2 probably hands down being the most brutal region of war in both world wars.

[@terryoconnor5262]

I absolutely love how at the very beginning you go on this sarcastic tangent about your classroom while unashamedly rocking an old school badass military helmet seeming (only seemingly, I know you in fact are aware) to be unaware of the irony of the suggestion that your class is usually semi-chaotic or “silly” while wearing a silly helmet yourself but talking seriously… absolutely love it mate!! 🤣👍🇬🇧🙌

[@johnwalsh4857]

I would say the most brutal war of the 20th century would be the Chinese civil war 1911 to 1949. which came in several phases . 1911 to 1912 Revolution which deposed the Qing Dynasty. Yuan Shi Kai gov. 1912-1916. Warlord or War of Reunification era 1916 to 1929. KMT era 1929 to 1949. (which includes the Second SIno Japanese war (1931 to 1945, war vs. the CCP 1927 to 1949, Central plains war 1930). I would say all that put together the Chinese probably suffered 50 million or even 100 million deaths in the course of 38 years that can be attributed to war. Very brutal with atrocities by all sides and much of China was ravaged by war.

[@rasmusn.e.m1064]

My pick too. That video is very Eurocentric.

[@johnwalsh4857]

Also Mongol wars of conquest. 1206 to 1405 , yah the Mongols kills many millions I think its even more brutal than the Crusades. like they committed genocide on an astounding scale. also including the resulting plagues and famine.

[@lovernotafighter6444]

As a Christian, I know that Abram had Ishmael and then had Isaac, which means that Abram is the father of the 3 major monotheistic religions; Judaism✡, Islam☪️, and Christianity ✝️. We worship the same God, we just call him by a different name.

[@carsonpearce5980]

Good to see some people still capable of humanizing Muslims. As an atheist, all too often I see christians (and even other atheists) dehumanizing and stereotyping Muslims, so I am grateful to people like you who respect other people and groups for what they truly are.

[@lesha2644]

It is true they all calm descendancy through Abraham. The problem is how they each grew. With Christianity, you had the Spanish inquisition, crusades and the church selling indulgences. While with Islam you had religious taxes, or enslavement through Devshirme. The Jewish people originally had money in the form of the first bankers, gained status through just wealth alone almost. Every religion has people who try to perverse the teachings for their own individualistic gain.

[@carsonpearce5980]

@@lesha2644 agreed. Institutionally religions are very often messed up, but if you look to the source material and the constituents it is much easier to find value than by looking at the organized leaders.

Not sure if you can say the crusades were more devastating the either world war Napoleon or the punic wars

[@sharkchaos5160]

I really like your videos and the infographic show too.

[@Merennulli]

"Brutal" is kind of a vague term. There's no clear ranking between torture, abuse, amount of needless death, cruelty of deaths, desecration, etc. And, to be honest, I don't think we want to make one because we don't want someone trying for a high score in some future war to "scare their enemies" as many brutal military leaders have done in the past. I'd also agree with your point that it wasn't a single war, but several entirely separate campaigns. Of them, the first was probably the most brutal due to the slaughter of the people, but that has happened in several wars.

I'm still waiting for him to react to epic history's napoleon. Great set of videos and they just came out with a new video.

[@RealmRabbit]

One thing I had a history professor point out is if you look at how the first pope to declare a crusade did it vs. this much later pope who did it (I forget which) you have the earlier one focusing heavily on the religious reasons for declaring the crusade while the later pope is legit just like "Yeah, we're going to go head over and pillage those people and get a lot of loot." and he focuses WAY less on talking about like God wanting it or whatever... (Yeah, watched a bit more of the video... Urban II was the earlier pope I was talking about who was more religious-oriented with his speech)

[@Marinanor]

Definitely WWII for me.

[@moldveien1515]

[@RealmRabbit]

One interesting thing about knights, they would choose to take enemy knights as prisoner instead of killing them and while this kinda got tied into the idea of chivalry it was more so because knights were from rich families and rich families had lots of money to pay ransoms... Also it was nice to take knights prisoner because you want to sell their armor, not damage it... ALSO I went over an article on this for class, a BIG reason the French lost Agincourt was due to religion... They could've attacked the English at a more opportune moment, but didn't because of God and the article went into how in order to keep God appeased there were reasons why you would want to avoid attacking fellow Christians and also why Agincourt ended up happening is also because you don't want to disappoint God by avoiding battle... So that kinda led the French to hesitating at first and then inevitably engaging and by then the English got into a strategic position... Had a class on ancient and medieval warfare and we looked at a bunch of articles and had to do a paper writing about arguments by historians where some focused on the more practical things that impacted ancient and medieval warfare (i.e. most of it being siege warfare) and more cultural things (i.e. religion) There was also stuff like the "Peace of God" movement which tried to get Christians to stop warfare in Europe...

[@zerophantomyt433]

Didn't most knights also sometimes know each other from training cuz they had academies for training. So they would probably avoid killing their friends.

[@Aimless6]

We are talking nobles here.... You don't want to squander your trained warriors and craftsmen in petty little family disputes. You need them for next year's petty family dispute. Use peasants in the front lines!

[@RealmRabbit]

@@Aimless6 The nobles don't want that though... Nobles want to be on the front lines for the glory because their often overconfident prideful losers... They'll be upset with you if you don't use them... Plus you don't want to let the peasants have first pickings of all the loot... I think the whole reason for having a coat of arms and such was so people could recognize and be in awe of you as you fought valorously on the battlefield...

How much of this is not about religion, but about control of the Silk Road? Constantinople sat on a choke point in the sea route between Europe and the Caucasus. The Arabs had their sea lanes in the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf. They are in direct competition.

[@insertaliashere1379]

Although wars have become more deadly in recent years, I'd argue they've become less brutal. A good example of this is a bayonet and a bullet - bullets are far deadlier, but a bayonet is significantly more painful and slow, thus making it more brutal. I would say the most brutal war in human history was the American Civil War. Old & crude war tactics were still used, but the whole clean "gentleman's code of honor" was noticeably absent for the time period.

[@na95ku]

With that argumentation WW1 should be your number 1, flamme throwers, charges against fortified positions, gas warfare etc. Getting hit by gas is even far worse then getting stabbed by a rosty bayonnet
