war and black comedy?

Question

question 1. in which war had the most american lives taken?

question 2. which war provided the ingredients for a "black comedy"

Answer 1

I believe the answers are:

1. Civil War

2. War of the Roses ("black comedy" does not refer to a Chris Rock standup routine in this case). There was a black comedy movie with Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner by that name.

Answer 2

World War 2 killed the most American lives. As for Black Comedy I would say World War 2 a lot of writers fought in that war and were glad to suvive it.
