what is an example of ferocity of world war I
Some of the most vicious and close-quarters combat characterized the fighting in the Pacific Theater of Operations and was equal to the ferocity to be found on the Eastern Front between the Germans and Russians .
Persia's attempt to impose peace on the warring Greek city-states failed, leaving them to go back to fighting each other with increased ferocity, which left them an easy mark for takeover by Macedonia.
Due to the ferocity of the fighting and destruction and chaos of the war, and the fact that neither side keep very accurate records it is impossible to say for sure. The best estimate is about 500,000 killed from all causes.
During World War II, the final phases of the war in Europe were similar to the final phases of the war in the Pacific in several ways. For one thing, the general superiority of the Allies enabled them to initiate combat when and where they chose, rather than the other way around (as had been the case early in the war). For another thing, the Allied troops faced generally unsuccessful yet highly fanatical resistance, leading to continuing casualties and an overall extension of the war.
