  • Death tolls

    If "bloodiest" is in terms of lives lost then this would be the order (formal war)

    1. WW2, with a conservative estimate of 56.4 million. The country that suffered most in proportion to its population was Poland, with 6,028,000 deaths, equivalent to 17.2% of its total population.
    The Soviet Union lost an estimated 26.6 million of its citizens.

    2.WW1 with About 8,500,000 soldiers were killed and civilian death toll is is over 20,000,000. These are based on conservative estimates.

    3.Russian Civil war with 20 million dead

    4. Thirsty Years War, 17th century which killed 9 million and had a mortality rate of 15-20% for Germany.

    -----------
    If "bloodiest" war is in regard to most lives lost in a "military campaign" (not formal war)

    1.Mongol invasions of Europe and Asia in the 1500s cost 60,000,000 lives - which is a much more significant proportion of the world's population at the time.

    2. Chinese revolution and Mao Zedong (mostly famine) with 40 million dead.

    alternative 2. An Lushan Revolt , 8th Century with 36 million dead

    3. Fall of the Ming Dynasty, 17th century with 25 million dead

    4.Taiping Rebellion, 19th Century with 20 million dead

    Looking at all that,i feel like living in some golden era.
