Five Bloodiest Battles that Changed the Course of our History
A list of five deadliest battles in the history of humankind.
A battle is a furnace in which the mettle of man has been tested since time immemorial. The chaos and blood hammers on both parties in the conflict without mercy, leaving even the strongest and most brutish warriors lifeless on the ground, their blood painting the battlefield red.
It is said there is honor in fighting, that this baptism of fire purifies the soul if one is fighting for a righteous cause. But the corpses cannot speak of the valor and honor of battle, and the blood-soaked survivors have only hollow ringing in their ears and a vacant look in their eyes because the brutalities and the madness of battle leave them shaken to their core.

Here are the five bloodiest battles in the history of mankind, based on the metric of the numbers of souls who lost their lives fighting them.
