Estimates for the total casualties of the war vary, but most suggest that some 60 million people died in the war, including about 20 million soldiers and 40 million civilians. Many civilians died as a result of disease, starvation, massacres, genocide. Of the total deaths in World War II, approximately 85% were on the Allied side (mostly Soviet and Chinese) and 15% on the Axis side. 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. Figures on the amount of total casualties varies to a wide extent because the majority of deaths were not documented.

The Holocaust was the killing of approximately six million European Jews, as part of a program of deliberate extermination planned and executed by the National Socialist government in Germany led by Adolf Hitler.

Massive aerial bombing by both Axis and Allied air forces took the lives of hundreds of thousands of civilians. For the first and so far only time, nuclear weapons were used in combat: two atomic bombs released by the United States over Japan devastated Hiroshima and, three days later, Nagasaki.

Certainly the United States did not "SUffer" as a result of WW II. Likely the greatest number of deaths would be Russia and Poland. Destruction, Germany or England. China was invaded by the Japanese well before the outbreak of WW II (As was Korea) and many Chinese were killed during the invasion and occupation. There is little known about the death camps that were in China - Quite similar to those of Germany. The Japanese tested chemical and biological weapes on Chinese people. Even today there are still outbreaks of plague carries by lice and flees released by the Japanese in the most infamous camp in Harbin in the northern province.

The Holacost is generally applied only to Jews, in fact more than 20 millions were killed by the Germans. Another 25 or so died in Russia as a result of the German invasion, famine and cold,

Likely you can put the highest death and destruction areas in Europe around Germany, tis is where the most of the fighting and bombing took place.

Japan was hit by two large bombs but the death toll, though with only a short term effect, came from incendiary bombs in the cities. The fire storm in Tokyo was greater than the great fire in Dresden. Starvation toward the end of the war took a toll as well. The results of atomic bombs is still ongoing but these are not included in the death toll from the war.

2 - Poland and Japan. Poland suffered a treacherous and unprovoked (although no longer unpredicted) attack by technique of Germany and an unpredicted attack from in the back of by technique of Russia. in the course of the approach the conflict as a lot as 2 million of his electorate were deported to Siberia, better than 1/2 the Holocaust sufferers were Polish, nicely over 20,000 militia officials, policemen and intelligentsia were kidnapped and murdered by technique of the Russians at Katyn. Following betrayal by technique of Roosevelt and Churchill on the suitable of the conflict, the position of foundation they'd fought for became given to the Russians and they had to spend yet another 40 5 years at the front line of the chilly conflict in the previous they ultimately carried out freedom. Japan had an rather short sharp marvel in that very almost all of her cities were destroyed by technique of fireplace bombing considering that they were fairly built of timber. 2 of their cities were wiped out by technique of a unmarried bomb each with huge and unparalleled lack of existence. they're nevertheless suffering mutations and health issues by using radioactivity after the bombings, seventy 5 years later. no count what the excuses - no matter if you imagine Japan were given what it deserved - those 2 countries suffered the most.

I think China and Russia suffered the most.

China had a population of 500+ million in 1937, when China entered WW2. When the war ended, about 20 million died (includes both military and civilian).

Russia had a population of 165+ million in 1941, when Russia entered WW2. When the war ended, about 24 million died (includes both military and civilian, also includes Holocaust deaths).

Poland 21.4%
Yugoslavia 9.8% (also a "civil war")
Soviet Union 9.6%
Lithuania 7.3%
Germany 6.0%

The above are percentages of total population not the higest number of deaths, Japan was low at 3% something....
