Great death into XIV century. It killed much more men than any war (I mean proportion to whole population).

My opinion is that World War I is the greatest human tragedy. Not only was the war itself a tragic waste of lives and resources, but its effects were far-reaching and these were to a big majority tragedies in their own right.

The project that will kill us next Wednesday. Chernobyl, Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Any war since there were humans.

That pretty sums everything.

The Treaty of Versailles. One war was inevitable as the world did not understand the true horror of modern warfare. The second was entirely unnecessary.

I really have to disagree on this. Politicians or anarchy? I'd rather take the politicians (by the way, I'm including monarchs, despots, and indeed any leader as a "politician" in this case).

Industrialization and with it the massive increase of world population/ polution.

No offence to anybody, but if i think about it it is sort of cause for lots of problems in our societies.
