"Casualties" are men killed, wounded or taken prisoner. Some of the wounded will later die, some will recover but be unfit for further service, some will recover and return to the army. In the first two years of the Civil War prisoners were exchanged, so those men would mostly eventually return as well.

What was the Conflict and compromise of Fort Sumter?
The battle of Fort Sumter has an interesting story behind it. The two generals fighting in it were student and teacher General Pierre Gustav Toutant Beauregard (the student) attacked the teacher Major general Robert Anderson. Neither one wanted to attack the other but it was both of their duties to do so. The actual battle began at 4:30 am on April 12, 1861. It is the first shots (more like cannons) fired of the Civil War. The man who said the order was Edmund E. Ruffin. PGT Beauregard asked Maj. Anderson to surrender the fort but he couldn't. There were no causualties(deaths) except for a Confederate horse. The actual building suffered minimal damage in this battle for the walls of the fort were 10 feet thick. The battle lasted 34 hours and 3,000 cannonballs were fired.
When did an army formation called the phalanx defeat a Roman legion?
The phalanx was a tight square formation of heavy infantrymen (hoplites) invented by the Greeks. It was adopted by the Roman army in the 6th century BC and they used it until they were defeated by the Samnites who used a different military formation, the maniple, in 321 BC. At that point the Romans adopted the mainipular formation of the Samnites. This formation was used to fight the Pyrrhic War v(280-275 BC) against Pyrrhus the king of Epirus in Greece who wanted to take over southern Italy and used the phalanx. The two sides fought three battles and Pyrrhus was the first two. The use of a larger cavalry and of war elephants (for the first time in Italy) played an improtant part in these victories. However, Pyrrhus suffered high levels of heavy causualties which made it impossible for him to win the war. This led to the term Pyrrhic victory, which refers to a victory which comes at such a devastating cost which it amounts to a defeat. By the end of the war he lost 2/3 of his army. The Romans won the final battle because they learnt how to deal with elephants.
what ended World War 2 2?
in Euroupe: the battle of Berlinin the pacific: the bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshimathe bombing of Japans two major cities ended world war two as Germany already surrendered when Hitler killed himslef. the cities that were completely destryoed where Hiroshima and Nagasaki.To put it briefly, the Allied forces captured Berlin to end the war in Europe and the US dropped two atomic bombs on Japan to end the fighting in the Pacific.Or.The Allies overcame the Axis powers and Hitler committed suicide.The US dropped atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.Some of the result of the Holocaust are 6 million Jews are dead.Or.The Germans actually surrendered to the soviets on May 8 1945.US war was mostly against JapanOr.The A-bomb. First Hiroshima, then Nagasaki were bombed. The Japanese fully intended to fight to the death. The decision to employ the A-bombs, while many say it was despicable, in fact saved lives. There is no doubt that the Allies were estimating the invasion of mainland Japan would have led to as many as 1 million causualties on the Allies side. In addition, unknown to the Allies, the Japanes had been building a special air force of kamikazes to deal with the invasion. The history channel has run a special on the secret kamakaze air force, but I am sorry I do not remember the name of the show.
