WW1 and it isn't even close.

More so than WW2 in the pacific?


If you look at the fighting in the Pacific in WWII, you'll see it's very similar in style to WWI trench warfare. But what sets WWI apart is that unlike the Pacific where battles tended to last days or weeks, in WWI battles lasted months and swallows up men by the hundreds of thousands. And in top of this, imagine this was your world....

Well to be fair, a lot of major battles in the Pacific technically lasted a couple months with most of the major action happening in the span of weeks. It's the extreme loss of life that sets WWI apart.
