I dont know about the worst, but I think the weirdest one was the one fought between Bolivia, Chile and Peru in the 1800's over bird guano. That war is the reason that Bolivia is now landlocked. Pretty weird.

In terms of world population casualties, WW 2 is still the highest in the total NUMBER of deaths. Russia alone lost over 22 million military and civilian lives.
Germany lost 3.5M troops in combat plus another 1.5M murdered/starved as POWs. At least 600,000 civilians were killed in air raids. About 1M civilians were killed during the vicious fighting through eastern Germany in 1945. After the war, at least another 2M were murdered. Altogether this is a staggering total of around 9M persons.
Japan lost about 1M troops in combat, mostly against the USA. Japan also lost significant numbers fighting China,the USSR, and Great Britain. Japan also lost hundreds of thousands of civilians due to American bombing.
Perhaps no large population of people in history suffered more than the German people in the religiously instigated "Thirty Years War". It is estimated that 30% to 50% of the German people were killed, starved, murdered, etc. during this conflict. Even WWII did not devastate Germany as much as The Thirty Years War did.
Some of the campaigns of Genghis Khan in China and Persia, and Tamerlaine come close in terms of PERCENTAGES killed, mainly through THE resultant famine and plagues.

The war on Terrorism of now. It has the makings of a full blown wipe out. An extension of the crusades.. It is in the here and now. It has finally exposed the deviousness of the evil cult of islam for all the world to see. Pres. Bush will be seen to be the savior of world freedom. He will be bigger than Abe. The anti- Bush people will come to realize that the threat from the islamofascists was far worse than anyone could have ever imagined.

World wide would have to be WWII, in the USA it would have to be the Cvil War. But the true worst has yet to come to this world but it is on its way. Within 10 years.

Any war you don't try to win is the worst, because the soldiers sacrifice is for nothing but foolish pride.

By far the worst war to date is the Bush war in Iraq, for the simple reason that it has put the world into tribulation and will lead us on a path to Armageddon. The reasons for this war are an abomination, as Bush invaded Iraq for no other reason than personal vanity. Armageddon will claim half of the earth, possibly over 3 Billion, while WW1 and WW2 had less than 100 million killed.
