The USSR lost 27,000,000 including the civilian population. My grandfather is Belarusian, he fought first in the Polish Army (Voisko Polsko), and at the end of the war already as part of the Red Army. He survived and that's why I'm writing here. In Belarus, a third of the population has died in a few years. Eternal memory to all heroes!

My takeaway here: Politicians and diplomats need to find every way possible to keep wars from happening. Those numbers are to the nearest hundred thousand people killed. A sheer estimate to the scale of a city the size of Albany NY. Every person in it, and we literally do not know whether that many people lived or died in 10 different countries. For the whole world, a million people may or may not have died and or existed. The scale of devastation was such that people, their known contracts, and records of one million people were lost to history. War must be the absolute last resort, and made to have the most crystal clear, finite, achievable and as limited as possible objectives. Sincerely, combat vet.

A lot of troops. When the war truly began in 1937, the Japanese committed 300k troops at Shanghai alone compared to 700k troops in China. In the 1939-1940 winter offensive, the Japanese was said to have 850k men and in 1944 during operation Ichi-go Japan deployed 1 million men. China saw the largest concentration of Japanese troops, eclipsing all the other fronts combined. In contrast, the largest concentration of Japanese the American face was in the Philipines, and the Japanese only had 500k men for a whole country. How brutal was the fighting ? Think world war 1, on steroid. On one hand you got the Chinese: an army whose only three strengths were a/inexhaustible supply of men, b/some decent generals (Xue Yue, Sun Li-jen, Wang Yao-Wu, Sun Lianzhong), and c/A massive interior so hard to traverse the Soviet Union looked like route 66. The Chinese was basically like the Russian empire army during WW1, only with more disunity, more in-fighting, less support, worse arms and equipment. Against them were die-hard Japanese who were also bickering and whose generals were also hopelessly useless in many cases (Yakaoma and Toshizo came to mind). It saw urban warfare terrible like that of Stalingrad (Shanghai, Changsa, Changde), massive trench warfare with massive use of biological and chemical weapons like World war 1, large scale extermination of population worse than even the Holocaust (the Chinese even drowned a million of their citizens by breaking the yellow river dam to stop the Japanese), and guerilla warfare that looked like Vietnam minus Napalm and helicopter playing Fortunate son. The morale of the Japanese troops in China is actually pretty bad. To be fair, both sides were fanatical: Chinese troops banzaied charge against the Japanese and had Dare-to-die corps who strapped grenades to them and try to run to tanks and blow themselves up. But it is true that Japanese morale in China was weaker because of the bleak aspect of war, the long slugging nature of the war so on and so forth. Many Japanese on the Pacific Islands fought to the death while many in China surrendered. The most famous example was the Kwantung army during Operation August storm: 500-700k men surrendered without any major resistance, the largest number of Japanese POW captured in history. More Japanese were captured in that one operation than all of Japanese POWS in every single foreign war Japan fought in, combined. It was a great source of shame for the Japanese who, until this day, refused to release the number of POWs captured in Manchuria. If China did not join the war, the American is fucked, hard. End of story. China was such a large sink of men and material that the Japanese could not send all her might to elsewhere. Not only that, China forced the Japanese to open the Burma-India front to cut supply through the Burma road for China, forcing her to bleed even more men and materiel. Think how hard would the Island hopping strategy be for the Americans if Japan could shift all her forces down South. Think how hard would it be for the Americans if they landed on Okinawa to find 200k Japanese, not 70k, on that island. Or into the Philippines and found 1 million, not 500k, Japanese there. And these Japanese would be way better armed, way better supplied since now most of the good stuffs were not expended in a war against China but could be used against America. In short, China was a shield that bore the brunt so America could strike Japan down with more ease.

ABSOLUTELY incorrect!! Soviets entry into the war was September 17, 1939 when they - along with their short-term ally nazi germany - invaded Poland from the east along with Hitler (who invaded on Sept 1 1939 from the west.) Remember that Soviet numbers are all cooked up! They’re literally including millions of “nazi victims” were actually soviet/russian victims. soviet union henchmen (NKVD/KGB and the rape army some referred to as red army) literally murdered Finns, Estonians, Latvians, Lithuanians, Poles, etc., etc. and then counted them as soviet (or their own) “casualties” since they’d annexed those countries as their own. So basically they murdered them and then blamed nazis for doing it (I.e. Katyń massacre just one example) To this day the west keeps pumping up the Soviet propaganda numbers. Yes, many people in Soviet U died - BUT a huge percentage of them were non-Russians murdered by soviets themselves. (PS. To be clear - Nazi germany was equally evil)

Couple of points: I remember reading that 40 million people died during WWII. In this graph, China & the USSR alone totaled way more than that. How did the Philippines loose 200,000 killed before the US was even attacked by the Japanese? Doesn’t make sense. The Philippines were a protectorate of the US and were not attacked before Dec 1941. Yet they show 200,000 dead already before that date. Numbers are a little screwy, I think.

Churchill still managed to secure enough ships to get nearly a million tons of grain/ barley to Bengal from Canada, Australia and Iraq. Still , sadly not enough. Blame nature and the Japanese for that famine.

Um, most of China's casualties were civilians, not military. Japanese committed horrific atrocities everywhere they went, and China took the full brunt of it. At least half of Soviet casualties was actually military, which was partly due to Stalins decision not to ready his troops for war as well as his decision to purge his military right before the German invasion. This resulted in entire armies being encircled by the Germans. That said, both sides did see inporportionate casualties compared to their enemies, but that's due to differences in fire disparity. Both armies had well throughout plans other than to just "throw men at the problem". The "human wave" hypothesis has been debunked for decades.

@@taoliu3949 im not sure what you mean "debunked" it's a fact that the Chinese used "human wave". Attacks all the way into Korea.

Most had nothing and we're to " aquire" a weapon of the enemy. With this in mind it is no wonder the Chinese suffered the casualties they did.

@@brianclingenpeel5123 "Human wave" attacks are repeated unsupported frontal assaults performed by infantry, which was not the norm for China be it in WWII or Korean War. WWII NRA infantry (which BTW, is the predecessor of the ROCA in Taiwan) was highly regarded by the IJA, Masanobu Tsuji rates them as the best infantry second to the Japanese. Their deficiencies lie with their lack of heavy equipment including artillery, but their infantry were experienced fighters. Chinese troops had been fighting a series of civil wars for decades and had no shortage of veterans. Likewise, the Korean War PVA also had no shortage of veterans and conducted night infiltration tactics to encircle UN forces. The US Army green book describes the PVA as "skilled enemy light infantry troops", "well-trained disciplined fire fighters," "particularly adept at night fighting", and "were masters of the art of camouflage."
