As Long As We Have Slaughterhouses, We’ll Have Wars

Description

Savagery, much attributed to the ‘old world’ is not entirely absent in the ‘new world’ but rather it is more prevalent than ever before. Modern civilization has made the 20th century the bloodiest century in human history. Industrialization of wars and violence in the 20th century led to killing of more than 350 million people, directly or indirectly. Science and technology led to discovery and mass usage of lethal weapons. Usage of petroleum expanded the war zone to include several continents. Localized battles of ‘old world’ turned into global World wars.
