Well I just got done watching Saving Private Ryan and It got me thinking
The war the interest me the most has to be WWII
I don't really know why but I love to learn/talk about it.
i agree totally World War 2 one of the Medal of Honors that i used to play was based on this it was the greatest game i had ever seen back in the ps2 Days
WW1 was like Austria-Hungary & Germany trying to take over Europe. We raped their countries after the war, so Germany was hungry for revenge for years...Leading to WWII.
If only you knew. Germany wasn't hungry for revenge. It was only Hitler. He felt that the penalties of WWI was too severe. They would have finished paying of the debt France and Britain imposed on them in the 80's. He felt like they were getting punished too much. He kept breaking the treaty slowly and Britain, as they are, felt sorry for them and let them off. Then he started slowly taking back the Rhineland (de militarised area in Germany's industrial part) and Britain again let him off. He then moved into Poland and so on. Then Britain threatened war if he took over Belgium, their allies, which he did and then Britain went to war.
Don't even get me ****ing started on the "America kicked their arses part" because you joined in in 1917 when the war started in 1914 and ended in 1918. And for WWII, the war started in 1939 and ended in 1945. When did America join? 1941 and you only joined because of Pearl Harbour (the correct spelling)
I think WWII and WW3 are the most interesting wars in my opinion they have so much to give to younger generations to learn from, History is a subject that should be more mandatory for students nowadays like Maths, English an Science.

Thought I would include a list of all wars by death totals.
Through out all of history WW2 still far exceeds the total deaths caused by a single war, although there was a chinese rebellion in the 700's that killed a higher % of the world population and the Mongols did pretty well in the standings. Kublia & Gengas we some bad dudes.
It is truly staggering the amount of battle and civilian deaths suffered by the Russians in WW2 and WW1 for that matter.
World War II Deaths
Country Military Civilian Total
Soviet Union 13,600,000 7,700,000 21,300,000
It was some hard times for the Soviet Union, Some soldiers that were afraid to fight were shot by their commanding officer for betrayal to the motherland, If the Germans didn't kill them the Russians did. Just thought i'd add that.
I would say the Civil War is the most intresting. Had many battles one of the most famous generals. Bad thing more deaths then any american war combined all togather.
