Don't be fooled by these 80 years of relative peacetime.
Before the second world war, millions of young eligible cum filled men were brutally slaughtered on the battlefield, most of them as chess pieces for literal inbreeding retards. Think about this shit.
Imagine leaving your mother at the young age of 16. You march 200 miles to some unknown country. Your feet have tremendous blisters due to you likely not having shoes, and if you do, they are made out of thin leather. You've lost 10 lbs of mostly muscle, due to you only eating rice or grain, meat is a delicacy. You cope with the excitement of the upcoming battle. You are ready to slay your enemies with your sword, just like the heroes in the stories that your heard around the campfire.
5 Days Later, you finally spot the enemy, gathered across the field. They dwarf your force 5 to 1. However, the Prince, who you've never even seen, traveling with your force decides to fight. Your commanders order a charge. You are in the front ranks. You run as fast as possible towards the enemy lines, ready to prove your worth.
You lose consciousness. And eventually leave this world. What happened? You were struck in the face by a bolt from a crossbow.
Your mother back at home never, ever sees you again. The only information she gets is 6 years later after a priest mentions the Prince who left with her son had been released via prisoner exchange. He and his guard were the only survivors of their crusade. The copes by praying that you are still alive in a foreign country. But in reality, you body simply rotted in an open field that is now being used to grow grain.
THIS WAS THE FATE OF MOST YOUNG MEN.
Take a look at the totals at some of the deadliest battles.
Mongol Sacking of Baghdad, 1258 (~2 million casualties)
Brusilov, 1916 (1.6 million casualties)
Dnieper, 1943 (1.58 million casualties)
German Spring offensive, 1918 (1.55 milion casualties)
Ichi-Go, 1944 (1.3 million casualties)
Second Congo War -(5 Million casualties)
