I forgot to post my own. Personally I think crusades was it. It's a whole different level when your soul is at stake.

This is silly but the moment man learned about science. Do you choose to learn? Or do you choose to sleep?

WWII. it was one of the last major wars where you could clearly tell who the bad guys were.Indeed. Additionally, the scope of the war encompassed more of the world than before, and the various strategies and technologies that were used set it far apart from anything else.

The battle of Crećy, which took place during The War of the Roses and is regarded as being "the death of chivalry". I can just picture the thousands of french nobles being ripped apart by each volley of 3,000 or so arrows.
And this^.

The Crusades. With nine Cursades in total, lives were lost for the 'Holy Land' as they tried to take it back. And a bunch more other reasons. Didn't they also tried to look for the 'Holy Grail' or something? I forgot the whole story.

WWII. it was one of the last major wars where you could clearly tell who the bad guys were.America!
Seriously when the Nazis were putting the Jew and the Gypses in camps
America were putting asians in camps also
and every country has/had their own biological weapons which they tested on prisoners
USA by my count has 3 counts (A-bomb, camps, boi-w)
Nazis by my count have 2 counts (camps, bio-w)
and any other major country had (bio-w or at least in development)
so I thought America should be the baddy

I'm not the one who de rep'd you but you are crazy. Nazis STARTED the war. They KILLED the people in there camp as a form of Genocide - we gave our camp prisoners PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWICHES.
We look back and realize that our detention of japanese americans was wrong and teach students about it in school. Germany doesn't teach about their dark WWII history.
Hitler also had an Atom bomb in development - we aren't evil for beating him too it. We also saved millions of lives by dropping bombs on two cities - instead of fighting an invasion that would of boarded on GENOCIDE of a stubborn and proud nation.
America placed japanese in prisons because they feared sabotage. Nazi's placed jews in death camps to erase them off the face of the earth as scape goats.
You cannot compare USA camps to Nazi camps. We both had camps yes - but america never had death camps or a desire to conquer the world.
BACK ON TOPIC The most epic struggle of mankind has always been the fight between Red and Blue.
