Answer 2

First as a level 6 contributer and known conservtive, I have to say Whoaa BUD STOP! 1. Not a political question. More rant. 2. Your number is based on??? Actual figures vary. 3.Hitler? (a)he commited suicide (b)Berlin was taken by the Russians. (C) Basic history 101.... 4. Again, You flunk history. The Emperor of Japan did not control the Government or order attack. Gen. Tojo ran Japan.....The Emperor was sacred to the Japanese. Keeping him helped smooth the occupation of the Nation. 5. Again Your High School has failed you..... Germany was honoring it's triparte With Japan when they decalared war on US. FDR Was actively supporting The Allies Pre war. We Already in a undeclared shooting war with German uboats prior to Dec. 7th. Look up the Uss Ruben James incident. You also tend to gloss over that fact America was not Combat ready Nor was the Nation Very Pro Allies. 6. Jews? In 1941 we cared little about the Jews as The Union cared little about Black freedom in 1860.

Answer 3

In total, the number of casualties in WW2 were 24,456,700 military casualties (deaths) and 32,327,100 civilian casualties with a further estimated 5,754,000 Jewish Holocaust deaths, making a total of 62,537,800 (a colossal 3.19% of the total population of thos countries involved).

Of the above the casualties suffered by the United Kingdom were 382,600 military and 67,800 civilian (0.94% of the total population).

A full list per country can be found on the attached link.

I don't normally like citing Wikipedia as a source, but its list of source material and references for the figures it gives is very good.

Answer 4

Some 63 million people, or 3% of the world population, died in the war (though estimates vary): about 24 million soldiers and 38 million civilians. This total includes the estimated 9 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.[7]

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. In total, of the military deaths in World War II, approximately 44% were Soviet soldiers, 22% were German, 12% were Chinese, 8% were Japanese, 9% were soldiers of other Allied forces, and 5% were other Axis country soldiers. Some modern estimates double the number of Chinese casualties originally stated.[7] Of the civilian deaths, approximately 90% were Allied (nearly a third of all civilians killed were Soviet citizens, and more than 15% of all civilians killed in the war died in German extermination camps) and 10% were Axis.[7]

Many civilians died as a result of disease, starvation, massacres, genocide—in particular, the Holocaust—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.[8] 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, 1.8-1.9 million non-Jewish Poles, 200,000–800,000 Roma people, 200,000–300,000 people with disabilities, and other groups 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.

From 1945 to 1951, German and Japanese officials and personnel were prosecuted for war crimes. Top German officials were tried at the Nuremberg Trials, and many Japanese officials at the Tokyo War Crime Trial and other war crimes trials in the Asia-Pacific region.

Answer 5

There is a very detailed overview of World War II casualties at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualties . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualties The table also gives you figures of Holocaust deaths in each country, and the percentage of the population that died in the war. (Look carefully at the footnotes to understand the figures).

UK: 450,000 total (382600 military, 67800 civilians, 0.94% of entire population).
