How many people died in all the wars in the US?

Answer 1

All I could find with those kinds of numbers in it was printed in 1989 but it gives you a good idead of where were at. Also it covers all the deaths in the WORLD not just a narrower view of only the USA.

In an article in JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association), those suffering ?man-made death? from war, political violence, and related privations are likened to ?the nation of the dead.? This so-called nation?s population now stands ?around one hundred million,? but ?real growth began in 1914.? If ?war? is an armed conflict including one or more governments and causing a thousand or more deaths annually, then, the article notes, ?there have been 471 wars since about 1700, resulting in at least 101.6 million deaths. More than 90% of those deaths have occurred in the 20th century.?

Historically, civilians have accounted for about 50 percent of war-related deaths. But by the 1970?s, that grew to 73 percent, and in the 1980?s, it stands at 85?percent. Man-made death results from nationalism, which produces ?international and civil anarchy? under ?the modern system of nation-states,? observed the article. Nationalism also causes nations to ?rationalize killing their own citizens,? claiming that they threaten the ?sovereignty of the nation.? The JAMA article compared the scale of man-made death with ?the scale of death in former times from epidemic disease? and called it ?the most terrible scourge of the 20th century.?

MY ADDITION TO THIS QUESTION-

In a 2005 report for the U.S. Congress there is a compilation of U.S. military personnel killed in all wars since the Revolutionary War. According to the report, there have been 1,004,015 U.S. military servicemembers killed during times of war. This number can be adjusted upward for either of two additional factors. First, if you include the reported dead from the Confederacy during the Civil War it goes up to approximately 1,154,015. Second, if you include "military operations" in your definition, it goes even higher.

I have purposely not included the numbers from the current U.S. war because I feel it is morbid and in poor taste to tally the number of soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines who are still making the ultimate sacrifice.
