WWI.

The weaponry was way more advance by the time WWII came around.

That's not necessarily a positive. If you're hit with shards of a shell and stuck in the mud in No Man's Land for a few days slowly dying, you'd be wishing they had more effective weaponry to kill you.

The biggest "weapon" in WW1 was invented on the Oklahoma prairie - barbed wire. This, in addition to using 1864 tactics, generals who should have been long retired, and automatic weapons made WW1 a completely horrible experience where absolutely nothing good was accomplished. I would have much rather hit the beaches at Normandy than gone "over the top" in WW1. Your chances of survival were much greater in the latter.
