North Vietnam: 500,000 to 1,000,000 dead US: 58,000 dead South Vietnam: 1,000,000

Total U.S. deaths were approx. 58,000 (about 48,000 combat-related, 10,000 non-combat-related).

South Vietnamese Army deaths are estimated at over 200,000.

North Vietnamese and Viet Cong deaths are estimated at over 1,000,000.

Vietnamese civilian deaths estimated 500,000 to 1,000,000.

Some of the latest figures put the total number of Vietnamese killed at upwards of five million. That's one million soldiers and three to four million civilians when measuring from the beginning of the French movements to retake their colonies after WW2. One in five Vietnamese were either killed or wounded during the wars. The communists of Vietnam withheld the true numbers for a long time in order to create the illusion of power for their military.

There were over 58,000 American service men and women killed in the Vietnam conflict. The injured number over 200,000 - ranging from minor injuries and returning to duty the same day to permanent disabilities. As far as the Vietnamese are concerned, the numbers are unclear. Estimates have been made, claiming a million deaths or injuries during the time U.S. soldiers were on the ground in Vietnam, from 1959 to 1973.
