AnswerThe battle of Antietam is only the bloodiest single day battle in American history, but there has been bloodier single day battles for example the battle of Borodino during the Napoleonic wars. Answer">AnswerNo No No, let's get this correct. History is not just "American History," and Antietam doesn't touch the Somme offensive---or most other deadly battles in the Great War or Napoleonic Wars, or Eastern front offensives in either world war.

Napoleon's Grande Armee lost 6,500 dead at the battle of Borodino, but numbers of actual "dead" on the Russian side are hard to exact (they claimed---and history later verified---somewhere around 35,000 casualties, but not all were dead).

The bloodiest single day of battle in the history of all recorded war was the first day of the Somme Offensive, July 1, 1916, during which time the BEF lost 20,000 dead. The German dead total is tough to exact, but stands at least at 10,000 fatalities (as the Allies were able in places to overrun the first line of German trenches).

Richer Answer

Cannae (Hannibal against the Romans) is usually estimated at 50,000 to 70,000 deaths which is higher than the Somme.
