What was the bloodiest period of Japan?

This article explores the bloodiest periods in Japanese history, from the Sengoku period (1467-1590) to World War II (1939-1945). The Sengoku period was a time of civil war between rival clans which resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths. The Boshin War (1868-1869) saw tens of thousands killed on both sides as forces loyal to the shogunate fought against those loyal to Emperor Meiji. The Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905) and World War II saw millions killed due to direct or indirect causes related to these wars. These conflicts had devastating consequences for Japan economically, socially, and culturally and still have an impact today. It is important to remember these events so that we can strive towards peace rather than violence whenever possible.
