It had the highest casualty count then any other war because the chemicas they used during the war Because WWI involved the majority of the planet's population. They also used foxholes, airplanes and the latest 'weapons of mass destruction' such as 'mustard gas' and machine guns instead of the hand-to-hand combat used in all of the previous wars.This is why it was named 'The War to end all Wars' and 'The Great War' afterwards, until, that is, WWII.
