What were the Countries with the Most Human Losses in WWII?

[@phillipboone2005]

Nothing compares to the civilian losses in USSR ,China and Poland. My mom in the Phillipines was 12years old in 1945. There were execution of civilians without trial. Instant decapitations. Systematic starvation. Confiscating all food. The Phillipino people ate rice husk that Japanese soldiers threw away. Children scavenged garbage dumps at Japanese camps or survived by digging for wild clams

@@phillipboone2005 There are kids scavenging garbage dumps today in the Philippines, no gloves, no shoes; also no tetanus vaccine, as far as I know. Recycling garbage is an environment friendly activity, but those in that work deserve best protection available. Eliminating childhood work is a must, requiring the economical needs forcing it to be solved. But minimal safety at work precautions are not expensive, any NGO could take care of handing gloves, shoes to these people, and also to 'Dalit' women in India cleaning latrines. Blessings +

Just Remember Russia killed a lot of it's own.

Whole war was horrific. Poland got screwed over by both Germany and Russia ( Twice ). Indo China, Philippines and Asia in general lost a lot of civilians to Japan.

Germans were the most efficient killers in the Second World War (not only of soldiers but also of civilians). If I recall, German soldiers killed Russian soldiers at a rate of approximately 3.5 to 1 (or higher). I think Anthony Beevor mentions this in one of his books. At the same time, Stalin and Russian commanders didn't care about the lives of Russian soldiers in the same or similar sense that Allied commanders cared about the lives of their soldiers. For example, Russian units could often have fatality rates well over 40-50% but still keep fighting, whereas even half those kind of fatality rates would have more likely caused most Allied units to surrender.

It’s now occurring so fast the elites (the Babylon) are starting to try to make religion important to their populations. No more abortions, homosexuality, women’s “liberation” against the patriarchy, with media and politicians always proclaiming how “free” their people are to believe their propaganda, and enjoy these “freedoms”. All used to reduce their populations. Because, unfortunately, these conceited monsters in politics and state control actually BELIEVE they are best placed to act like we are all livestock. Now, they want to boost their herds after sixty to ninety years of policies pursued that are GUARANTEED to cull those herds. These people with such delusional belief that they are Gods are all dead. But their descendants are now following the same policies, and are in power, courtesy of their birth. In my opinion, despite not actually beginning the ethnic and population control, they still advocate for population control or they want to inflict further servitude on the people by re-introducing religion. I would pass justice on these “intellectuals” by adopting Pol Pot’s methods to remove the guilty narcissists and the descendants of these butchers of humanity, in precisely the same manner as that Cambodian so intent on unleashing retribution upon the guilty. It’s easy to see who’s guilty. The rich, arrogant, conceited elites who inherited their status which allowed us to all be culled like livestock.

And their counterparts in Washington and New York, Brussels, Paris, Peking (China practicing the most successful human culling), Tokyo, Seoul, and anywhere else where people are being deliberately erased for the benefit of the guilty.

Polish lost over 20% of its population, a fact you don't hear of much in today's history lessons. It was criminal how their country's annihilation was covered up by the Allies. This is why most people believe only the Jews suffered, and always by the hand of the Nazis when the truth was, they were expelled from every single nation on Earth long before the Nazis were around.

Also US went toe to toe with Japan's navy and airforce and broke its back allowing for those nukes to reach main land.

Chinese AND Soviet involvement in WWII were severely downplayed during the Cold War due to their "Communism". China was THE major player opposing Japan in Asia. Since 1933. The US came along at the end and finished the Japanese with bombers that the Chinese didn't have. And most of Japan's losses are at the hands of the Chinese as well. Certainly the military ones.

As usual such graph is not correct in time. USSR had very few losses in Sep 1939 in Poland, then quite severe losses in winter 1939 - 1940 in Finland, then no losses until German invasion on 22.06.1941. The same relates to all other countries. All of them entered WWII in different periods. But those people who made this graph never thought about timeframes. They just took the total duration of the war 01.09.1939 - 02.09.1945 and spreaded all losses on the full period.

The so called great powers failed to agree on the formation of a central government in 1948 so the partition was established. So there was a never a country of Korea despite aggressive efforts to unify the countries since 1950 by the north.
