List of wars by death toll

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

This list of wars by death toll includes death toll estimates of all deaths that are either directly or indirectly caused by war. These numbers usually include both the deaths of military personnel which are the direct results of battle or other military wartime actions, as well as the wartime/ war-related deaths of civilians, which are the results of war induced epidemics, diseases, famines, atrocities etc. The list includes wars with at least 1,000 fatalities. This is an incomplete list of wars (an estimated 3,010 wars have taken place in recorded human history).[1]
