WWII: 73 Million Dead.
In doing some research on a soldier I came across this graph. It's really striking. It stunned me actually. The total casualties from WWII is almost 73 million people. That's a number that's so high it's incomprehensible. I used to think the holocaust was a lot of people, and don't get me wrong it is. But the overarching figures involved in world conflict even put that to shame, showing the true damages involved.
If you note that the blue line represents the percentage of that countrie's 1939 population that was killed by 1945 it becomes clear that certain countries were ravaged considerably.
