how mani human beengs have been killed in secoud world war?

Answer 1

Several millions. I wonder how 24 hour news would have handled that since they are having strokes over 3000 deaths in Iraq?

Answer 2

There is a great deal of debate about what that number is. The most concertize number states about 5x10e7 the most liberal numbers are about 1x10e8 (this is fifty million to one hundred million). I saw another person wrote about sixty three million. I feel that is about right. But consider this. The war lasted between Sept 39, to Sept 45. 6 years. 312 weeks. That means that every single week, on average 201,900 people died. Every single week two hundred thousand people died of that war. Two hundred thousand per week. 28,800 every single day. And they did not take time off for Christmas. That would be filling up Madison Square Garden, and killing every person in there. Every single day, for 6 years.
Another quick thought. In 1918 there was an epidemic that killed about 118,000.000 people. These two events, 7 and a half years. 181,000,000 dead.

Answer 3

Some 63 million people, or 3% of the world population, died in the war, though estimates vary greatly - about 24 million soldiers and 38 million civilians. This total includes the estimated 12 million lives lost in the Holocaust. Of the total deaths in World War II, approximately 80% were on the Allied side and 20% on the Axis side.

Allied forces suffered approximately 17 million military deaths, of which about 11 million were Soviet and 3 million Chinese. Axis forces suffered about 8 million, of which more than 5 million were German.

Many civilians died as a result of disease, starvation, genocide - in particular, the Holocaust - massacres, and aerial bombing. One estimate is that 12 million civilians died in Holocaust camps, 1.5 million by bombs, 7 million in Europe from other causes, and 7.5 million in China from other causes. Allied civilian deaths totaled roughly 38 million, including 11.7 million in the Soviet Union, 7 million in China and 5.2 million from Poland. There were around 3 million civilian deaths on the Axis side, including 2 million in Germany and 0.6 million in Japan. The Holocaust refers to the organized state-sponsored murder of 6 million Jews, 220,000 Roma people, and other ethnic minorities and political opponents carried out by the Nazis during the war.

The Soviet Union suffered by far the largest death toll of any nation in the war, over 23 million. Some modern estimates double the number of Chinese casualties originally stated.
