Regardless of the fact, if U.S. decision to go to war was right or wrong, world war two was the most sorry event in human history. Unfortunately the death and other toll due to World War Two is usually reported like number. We need to understand that when we say sixty million, we mean sixty million human beings, just like you me. They were living and breathing people with families, neighbors and friends, co-workers. Most experts believe, if there will be a Third World War, it is going to be far more deadlier and destructive, since, the weapons of mass destruction are now lot more destructive and widely spread and held. Sixty million people were killed. An estimated 3.17 to 4.00% of world population died in war or as a consequence of war. U.S. casualties were 418,500. Death toll was as high as 16.7% of Poland’s population. Total deaths in Third Reich were as high as 8.0 to 10.5%. The death rate of Soviet citizens in German military was as high as 27.0%. U.S.S.R. lost about 13.5% and Belarus lost 25.3% of it’s population. There were 11 to 17 million people, who died due to systematic murders done by Nazis, 6 million of them were Jews (Holocaust). 4.5 to 8.2 million Russian civilians were the victims of Nazi killings. 2.7 to 3 million Jews were killed only in Poland. Roma deaths were between 130,565 to 285,650, with 26,000 to 90,000, only in Yugoslavia.
The historian Chalmers Johnson has written that “the Japanese slaughtered as many as 30 million Filipinos, Malays, Vietnamese, Cambodians, Indonesians and Burmese, at least 23 million of them ethnic Chinese. There were 14,657 deaths among the total 130,895 western civilians interned by the Japanese due to famine and disease.
The deaths of 400,000 civilians deported during the Soviet annexations in 1939–40 are included with World War II casualties.
Russian sources list Axis Prisoner of war deaths of 580,589 in Soviet captivity. However some western scholars estimate the total at between 1.7 and 2.3 million.
American corpses sprawled on the beach of Tarawa. The Marines secured the island after 76 hours of intense fighting with around 6,000 dead in total from both sides together. The Pacific war claimed the lives of more than 100,000 US military personnel (Source: Wikipedia).
Wikipedia article, World War II casualties, also reports that “Civilians killed totaled from 40 to 52 million, including 13 to 20 million from war-related disease and famine. Total military dead: from 22 to 25 million, including deaths in captivity of about 5 million prisoners of war.”

In short war is “the dirtiest” game. Once started, nobody knows who will survive and who will be the victim. You may be directly involved or totally unrelated, doesn’t matter. You may be a military personal or a civilian, makes no difference, in practical sense. You may be killed just because who you are or how you look like. Hence, the original question is still unanswered. Did we have to get involved in all of this? Isn’t it amazing that almost seventy years later, we are still looking for the answers to very basic questions.

As my friend’s comment that the top management
did not like writing these random
People always ask me, “Is it okay to use synthetic oil in your car?” What you should be asking yourself, “Is it okay to run conventional oil in your car?”
One thing I would like to comment on is that fat burning plan fast is possible by the perfect diet and exercise. An individual’s size not only affects the look, but also the complete quality of life. Self-esteem, despression symptoms, health risks, along with physical skills are influenced in putting on weight. It is possible to make everything right and still gain. In such a circumstance, a medical problem may be the offender. While too much food but not enough workout are usually at fault, common health conditions and traditionally used prescriptions can easily greatly help to increase size. Many thanks for your post in this article.
