    War would be worse.

    Disease wipes out large numbers of many species on a regular basis and usually only affect a very few species. At the start, usually the species is overpopulated. Nature cleans up fairly easily afterward.

    It is also normal for fighting among populations of animals but only involving a few dozen members at a time. Nature cleans this up pretty good too.

    With a world war, we would destroy vast tracts of land and possibly of the sea. Nature would take a long time to recover.

    The next World War will leave No Survivors. The next Pandemic- might. So DON'T Plan on another World War ( or it might be the LAST thing you Do...).

    a pandemic would be worse for it would kill a larger range of people. not only men and women but older people to old to serve and children.
