World War II Death Toll in Historical Perspective

Here’s an interesting presentation that puts the World War II death toll in historical perspective.

The death toll of all wars on earth, combined, since the close of WWII is minute in comparison. But that’s because rich nations haven’t gone head to head since.

Could it happen again? And how bloody would it be?

  1. I have a feeling the rich nations will be too busy fighting nasty little wars with the Muslim parasites inside their own borders, and it will get really bloody when the rich nations’ governments come down on the side of the Muslims instead of the natives.

  2. When you’ve got millions of people fighting, dying, and in many cases just disappearing, it’s hard to keep track. Most Americans can’t even imagine how cheap human life is in most of the world, particularly during wars. We’re lucky that way.

  3. Stalin murdered so many of his own that he didn’t want it to become common knowledge and that’s part of the reason the Soviets had no “Graves Registration” system.

    Estimated that Khrushchev, political officer at Stalingrad, had over 20,000 soviet soldiers executed during that one battle.

  4. The globalist solution to the problem of rich nations potentially slugging it out again is to make sure there are no rich nations anymore, and only a few wealthy elites to manage all of the poor global regions the elites wish to create. The bloody, apocalyptic conflicts that will happen on the way to their utopia are mere speed bumps in the road.

  5. Yep. Just last evening I watched several episodes of the War in the Pacific on AHC, Taking some of the islands cost 10s of thousands of American lives and 100 thousand Japanese lives on just one island. The lesson learned was something else had to be done to take the main islands of Japan to end the war.

    One uncle was only in the Pacific. One of his older brothers landed on D-day. Finished the war in Europe, and was in Hawaii on his way to invade Japan when that new solution was used in Aug. And they both came home, along with two other brothers in Europe.

  6. WW2 was a defining war for our country and the men. i had four uncles who fought in that war. three came home, along with my pop. All branches of military.
    My uncle richard died in pelelui in september 1944, first division marines,
    he was 23 and my dad constantly spoke of him.

    war is necessary and very personal.
