Here's Grim Quiz to start off today's video. Of all the conflicts to take place entirely in this blood-soaked century, which has been the deadliest, it's a pretty tough question right. With so many to choose from, I mean it's difficult to say, maybe it's Ukraine, well, vicious fighting continues to rage.
Maybe it's Syria, with its bitter civil war that lasted a decade, or it could be Yemen, Dore, Afghanistan, or perhaps even Mexico's drug war. But we're going to go out on a limb and say that very few would guess the actual victor. The war that, according to recent studies, killed more than any other this century.
Ethiopia's Tigray War. Taking place between November 2020 and November 2022, the Tigray War was one of the bloodiest civil conflicts this generation has seen. At its height, as many as a million soldiers were fighting with a thousand people dying every day.
