Savagery, much attributed to the ‘old world’ is not entirely absent in the ‘new world’ but rather it is more prevalent than ever before. Modern civilization has made the 20th century the bloodiest century in human history. Industrialization of wars and violence in the 20th century led to the killing of more than 350 million people, directly or indirectly. Science and technology led to the discovery and mass usage of lethal weapons. The usage of petroleum expanded the war zone to include several continents. Localized battles of the ‘old world’ turned into global World wars.
