re: Is the Spanish Civil War the best Civil War of all time?

Speaking of Civil wars. I remember reading about the Argentine Civil War which was around the time of the American one if I remember right, Buy the last few battles they lost so many men they start placint dummy's in fake uniforms out in the stupid arse marching rank lines. They also used kids as young as 5-6years old and putting them in uniforms and giving them sticks that looked like rifles to make it look like their army had more soldiers. Crazy

The population in the 1800 wasn't near what is was in the US but the percentage of men that died was crazy. they literally lost a few consecutive generations completely, I'm making this number up but it was something like only 25% of the males lived. That's infusing infants and old old men. So there was almost no breeding population when it was over.
