America's assault on the Zombies was entirely different then Europe's in the sense that America's assault was strategically planned and the military personnel were well trained and their were minimal casualties. In Europe the military didn't plan out any assault they marched into the cities without and strategy and hoped to eradicate the Zombies. This was a horrible idea because zombies could come from any building or back ally way. The Americana's used blow horns to draw the zombies out of the cities and into open territory for a reason. Millions of people live in major cities across the world and those people were now zombies. The Europeans suffered many hard losses to the zombie hoard es within the city because of running out of ammunition and getting trapped in from all streets by Zs. The push to liberate Europe from all zombies was a one of pain and suffering. One of the most gruesome facts was after every squad went down, it meant that they only strengthened the Zombies numbers. The Europeans didn't have a battle of Hope where their confidence was restored, they fought the entire war scarred and knowing that many of them would be killed and reanimated as Zombies.

I believe that if the Europeans government would've followed Americas strategic planned that they could have successfully assaulted the zombies with less casualties. I also believed that because of their many failed attempts the militarise morale was plummeting knowing that they would have to kill their buddies, who came back from the dead to only devour them. It would pain me to be bitten by one of the zombies and knowing that i was going to change. The military forced officer to execute infected military personnel. It's heartbreaking that the officer were forced to do this and many of them couldn't coup and killed themselves. War is a horrible thing and violence can only bring suffering.
