how many people actually died in World War I, World War II, The Cold War, The war in Afghanistan and the war in Iraq?
That's a heavy question, but here are some rough estimates:
- World War I: An estimated 18 million people died, including 11 million military personnel and 7 million civilians.
- World War II: The death toll is estimated to be around 75-80 million, including about 20 million military personnel and 40-45 million civilians.
- The Cold War: It's difficult to pinpoint an exact number because the Cold War was more of a global conflict than a traditional war, but estimates range from around 3 million to as high as 10 million.
- The War in Afghanistan: As of 2021, the total number of deaths is estimated to be around 176,000-220,000 people, including military personnel, civilians, and insurgents.
- The War in Iraq: Estimates vary widely, but most sources put the total number of deaths between 200,000 and 1 million people, including military personnel, civilians, and insurgents.
These numbers are staggering and serve as a sobering reminder of the human cost of war.
