What is the deadliest war in history?
World War II was the war with the largest number of casualties in history, with 55-60 million people killed and 654.38+300 million injured, and the total number of casualties was 654.38+900 million. The following are the casualties in major countries:

The Soviet Union's death toll in World War II was 26.8 million, of which 8.9 million (140,000) were regular troops, and the number of militiamen greatly exceeded this figure, and the rest were civilians. The death toll of Soviet soldiers in World War II has always been a controversial issue, because during the Great Patriotic War, many civilian men and women were temporarily incorporated into the Red Army, so it is difficult to distinguish whether they are regular soldiers, civilians or militia. So there are two statements: 8.9 million soldiers died and 6.5438+0.4 million soldiers died, but the west agrees with the former statement, of which about 8.8 million soldiers died in the Soviet-German battlefield; Less than 654.38 million people died in the Soviet-German battlefield; Nearly 90,000 people died on the battlefield in Sufen.

The death toll of World War II in China has been unclear because the statistics are unclear. Scholars estimated that there were120,000 people-180,000 people, but after the 1990s, the data gradually became clear: about180,000 people. Among them, the number of soldiers killed was about 6.5438+0.48 million, including 6.5438+0.35 million for the national army, 6.5438+0.2 million for the * * * army (including guerrillas), and the rest were civilians.

In World War II, about 8 million people died in Germany, including 6 million soldiers and the rest of the civilians. About 500 thousand of them died in the western front and North Africa, and the rest died in the Soviet-German battlefield on the eastern front

Japan's death toll in World War II was nearly 3 million, including about 6.5438+0.9 million soldiers (6.5438+0.85 million written in Japanese history textbooks) and about 440,000 people died in China (6.5438+0.35 million written in our textbooks is nonsense); In Southeast Asia, about 1.8 million people were killed by British troops, Chinese expeditionary forces that entered Myanmar (more than/.0 million people were wiped out by Japanese troops) and guerrillas; More than 65438+ ten thousand people died in the Soviet-German battlefield; About 6.5438+0.2 million people died in the battle between the Pacific Ocean and the US military; Nearly 400,000 volunteers and boy scouts died in the war; The number of civilians killed by American atomic bombs and bombs is about 550,000 (according to Japanese statistics).
