Sahel 11/04/23 4:36:50 PM #115:	ssjevot posted... World War II is largely unique for the scale of warfare and atrocities. The types of things that occurred still happen. Cambodian genocide is a great example of this. 25% of the population killed, about 2 million people. This sounds staggering, but it's largely an isolated event. In World War II Poland lost about 20% of it's population, 6 million people. China lost over 15 million people. The Soviets lost over 20 million. This makes it hard to contextualize all the wars and atrocities that have happened since then. Nothing has remotely approached that scale. The Ukraine war has been raging for over a year and a half and total deaths are estimated at around 300,000 people. It's hard to really grasp the scope of what occurred. Seeing the estimated casualties of the 21st century wars such as Tigray war being 600,000 at most and the Iraq war being at 1,033,000 at most, it could get worse. The War to End All Wars, later called World War I should have inspired humanity to prevent more wars. Or at least prevent from reaching the scale of the World Wars. --- "Games don't get worse over time. Only your expectations change.
