World War II got to be the pinnacle of human savagery

[Fresh]

slavery of Black people was the most savage thing in history imo

I mean look how long it lasted

generations of our ancestors were mudered, tortured, raped (the women, men, and children) and enslaved in the most brutal form etc

EDIT: Never mind. This is question is almost purely subjective if we're including the numerous genocides throughout human history.

Just adding this to the thread since I never knew about this until recently

If ever there was a person in history I wish I could have 5 minutes in a room with a knuckleduster

What's the point of a conquest when you have no one to rule over? It's just senseless slaughter at that point.

you take their stuff

I find WW2 to be the second most legit America involved war ever. First being the US Civil War.

True "good" vs evil. The allies had their own draconian, fascist ways.. but Hitler was on some comic super villain time. His version of this world involved total genocide of "impure" people.

As crazy as the decades following have been, good thing it went this way vs how it could have turned out.

One of the few wars where there's an actual good guy and a bad guy. No matter how you feel about the Allies, the threat from the Nazis, Fascist Italy, and Imperial Japan had to be eradicated

More civilian casualties in WW2, crossing the line there makes WW1 tamer to me

savage it not about numvbers.

it is about methods.

that is why some methods of killing are illegal in war and others are not.
