The biggest conflict in history, by quite some margin, is World War 2. There is quite some separation between the War in the Pacific & the War in Europe, but of course both the US & Britain, and others, notably the Australians, were involved in both & from 1941 to 1945 were simultaneous.

WW2.

Let me add that because World War 2 was the biggest, is simply because Hitler was a very powerful man in that time. He hated the Jewish culture's, he became a dictator and ruled over Germany killing many Jewish people for what the believe in. The Americans(along with our allies) couldn't take the Horror and sent many soldiers to take out Hitler.

Many years fighting the war cause Hitler to realize that this war will not be won, he and his wife, Eva Braun, comitted suicide. Though there are many theories on how Hitler died, people have now decided that the cause of his death was a gunshot to the head on Monday, 30 April 1945 in his Führerbunker in Berlin.

Was The Civil War the biggest war ever experienced and Why?

World War 2, September 1939 to September 1945 was the biggest war in history. It was fought over the entire planet, and involved tens of millions of people and millions died in it. The American Civil (1861 to 1865) was the worst war in American history, because it was Americans (Union soldiers) killing Americans (Confederate Soldiers), but, it was not the biggest war in the history of the planet. WW2 was by far and away, the biggest war in the history of the human race.
