define glory

As far as least goes, definitely World War 1.
The most pointless war in human history, really.

>>995278
Honor, achievement, pride

For soldiers, more or less the same in all times, perhaps slightly more opportunity to show individual excellence

>>995286
WW2 then.

>>995293
Most glory, that is.

One of the least glorious wars would be WWI

Any battle where you get a portion of the land you conquer.

Any battle in WWI

>>995267

World War I was only really glorious if you were a country like France or Belgium, because you were fighting a war of defense

sadly a lot of the officer corps died penniless...the civil war on the other hand. Even the losers did well.

Most glorious has to be the French Revolutiionary Wars as a frog
Literally fighting against the entire feudal world to promote freedom and progress

>>995282
>WW1
>pointless

But to the OP's question
most glory - definitely Crusades
least glory - Vietnam War (from USA side)
