The last war that didn’t use any tech was fought entirely with bare hands.
Comment on why is the mexican-american war considered "the last war of humanity"??

It might seem like there was an “old days” in war compared to modern times but technology in war has always been continuously improving and has often been the decisive factor.
In the America-Mexico war the Americans had a distinct technological advantage being able to use the newer and more accurate 1841 Springfield rifle. They also had superior artillery technology.
If you mean the “old days” as in mass troop movement on the field and hand to hand fighting and no computers then there was plenty of that all over Europe and elsewhere later in the 1800s all the way up to WWI.
See the Crimea War and the Franco-Prussian war for some notable examples. (Both with rifles, troops marching on the battle field, cannons, horses etc)
