The total number of dead and wounded in all foreign wars can vary significantly based on the specific conflicts and time periods considered. For example, World War I resulted in approximately 16 million deaths and 21 million wounded, while World War II saw around 70-85 million fatalities and millions more injured. More recent conflicts, such as those in Iraq and Afghanistan, have resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths and many more wounded, including military personnel and civilians. Overall, the cumulative toll from all foreign wars is staggering, reaching into the tens of millions for deaths alone.

Estimating the total number of soldiers wounded since 1776 is challenging due to the many conflicts and wars involving the United States. However, it is likely in the millions, considering major conflicts such as the Civil War, World Wars, and more recent engagements. The most accurate statistics are often specific to individual wars, but comprehensive data across all conflicts is limited. For example, the Civil War alone saw approximately 500,000 wounded.
Because it was considered by both parties a bloodshed; the Union lost 481 dead and 1,011 wounded, the Confederate 387 dead and 1,582 wounded. But it was also shocking because they become aware that the war was going to be a long and costly one, and not a matter which would have been solved in a few months.
