History's Deadliest Wars and Their Staggering Casualties

Описание: Travel across the darkest chapters of human history — from medieval crusades and collapsing dynasties to continent-spanning conquests and the industrial slaughter of the World Wars. This video ranks the Top 40 deadliest wars ever recorded by total death toll, breaking down who fought who, when it happened, and the highest credible estimates behind each catastrophe. You’ll see how conflicts escalated from battles into mass-death events through famine, disease, siege warfare, occupation, civil collapse, and total-war mobilization — and why some wars spiraled far beyond the battlefield. ⚔️📉
