World War One was the most brutal war

Despite my opponent's justification for using the genocide of the Greeks and Armenians in WW1 as an argument, I still feel that it is very much the same as the genocide of Jews in WW2. Pro's justification for using the Greek and Armenian genocide is that Greeks and Armenians were fighting the Ottoman Empire. Reguardless of whether the ethnic group is fighting or not, the brutality of genocide is the same. And the 'sympathy' is still the same for those who lost their lives. Let's also not forget that many of the Jews who died in the holocaust were from occupied countries.Either way I am not going to make a bigger issue out of this, but I wanted to put this point out there (And I appreciate Pro dropping the Assyrian genocide). Pro claims that during the 2nd Sino Japanese war:there was not constant bombardment everyday. Life carried on as normal for the most part.He backs up this point by comparing Japanese occupation of China to the Japanese occupation of Korea from 1910 to 1945, where there was essentially no bombings, no killings etc. Korea was occupied during 1910 to 1945 but the question is: Was Korea at war against Japan from 1910 to 1945? Korea was made into a protectorate of Japan in 1905 and then was annexed into the Japanese empire in 1910. There was not a bullet fired in this occupation since it was a 'diplomatic annexation'.[1] So of course the Japanese did not treat the Koreans harshly, they were incorporated into Japan. Japan gains little from treating their new Korean citizens harshly (of course there was some level harsh treatment and perhaps killings, but i am speaking in general terms).With China however, it is war. So it would be ridiculous to compare the peaceful occupation of Korea to a brutal and long war against China.Con claims that there were no constant bombardments everyday in the 2nd Sino Japanese war.Goodness Gracious! How could Pro make such an outrageous claim!Pro knows nothing of the thousands of bombing raids made by the Japanese.The bombing of Shanghai, Nanjing, Guangzhou by the Japanese have killed thousands.And worst of all was the bombing of Chongqing. Chongqing was the target of several bombings over the course of 5 years (longer than WW1) from 1938 to 1943. In these 5 years, there were more than 5000 bombing runs by Japan. It killed 10,000 people, mostly civilians. 11 thousand bombs were dropped, they were mostly incendinary bombs. So yes, death by fire to10,000 civilians. This is as bad as a WW1 chemical attack if not worse in my opinion. If this is not brutal, I do not know what is (also these numbers are all conservative estimates, the real number could be much higher and may never be known).[2][3]So yes, Japan did bomb China a lot with better, faster and deadlier bombers than ww1. I mean for goodness sake, WW1 bombers were biplanes. Flying itself was only 11 - 15 years old during WW1. Japan in the 1930's and the 40's had far better bombers than a WW1 bomber could ever hope to be. These better bombers had better range so the interiors of China are hit. WW1 did not have devestating air raids on Berlin, Paris, London, Vienna etc. This meant that as long as you were far enough from the front line, you were safe (so yeah, not that brutal).In the case of the western front (where most of the fighting took place), the front line moved very little and thus cities like Berlin or Paris took no damage since there . And I really find it hard to believe that WW1 bombs could cause a sound so loud that it could be heard in Dublin even though the bomb exploded in North Eastern France. A nuclear bomb, i would say maybe but defenitely not a WW1 bomb.the Rape of Belgium. Which resulted in the killing and execution of civilians (estimated 6,000 of the 60,000 civilians killed), forced labor (slavery?) to support the German war effort and massive displacement of 1.5 million Belgians.lets take into account that highest estimate and add that to the number of the Greeks and Armenians killed. The grand total of civilians killed according to what Pro mentioned thus far is 3 million or let's say 3.5 million at a high estimate.The number of civilians killed in the 2nd Sino Japanese war numbers around 9.3 million at a low estimate which is 3 times higher than WW1. And I already proved in Round 2 that total deaths of WW1 is 8 million while in the 2nd Sino Japanese war it is 10 million. Pro conceded that WW1 is less brutal than the 2nd Sino Japanese war on the point of being unrelenting, as WW1 lasted shorter. However, Pro argues that chemical warfare made WW1 the most brutal war.The chemical weapons do make WW1 a brutal war but not the most brutal war. Why? Because the 2nd Sino Japanese war saw the use of chemical weapons as well, not to mention Japan's biological weapons."during the 14 years of the Sino-Japanese War, Japan used poisonous gases more than 2,000 times in 77 counties of 14 provinces[of china[ in direct violation of the 1925 Geneva Protocol on prohibition on the use of chemical weapons, which Japan had also signed. These attacks killed tens of thousands of Chinese, including many civilians."[5] I will not insert a gory image here. But my source number [5] has images of the symptoms of the chemical and biological weapons of Japan during the war, if anyone is interested to see the clear brutality of the 2nd Sino Japanese war.In addition, after the 2nd Sino Japanese war, Japan abandoned a huge stockplie of chemical weapons in China. They were dumped in rivers or buried underground. In the present day, the have started to leak and cause civilian injuries and even deaths. This is why I argue that the 2nd Sino Japanese war is more brutal than WW1 and logically, World War one was not the most brutal war.Sources[1]http://www.japantimes.co.jp...;[2]http://ww2db.com...;[3]http://en.wikipedia.org...;[4]https://www.newworldencyclopedia.org...;[5]http://www.dontow.com...; (warning, this source has gore in it)Note: I will not use the Taiping Rebellion in Round 4 for arguments since Pro will not have a chance to rebut it. With that, I hand the debate to Pro to make his summary of points and conclusion.
