Artillery was the leading cause of casualties in World War I, accounting for approximately 60% of all battlefield deaths. The widespread use of heavy artillery, such as howitzers and field guns, resulted in devastating bombardments that inflicted severe injuries and fatalities on soldiers. The trench warfare tactics employed during the conflict made troops highly vulnerable to artillery fire, leading to staggering death tolls, especially during major offensives like the Battle of the Somme and Verdun. Overall, the brutal effectiveness of artillery changed the nature of warfare and had a lasting impact on military strategy.
World War 1 was known for its long and dangerous trench warfare and for extended artillery bombardments.
About 58% of the deaths in world war I were military personnel, the remaining 42% were civilians.

Probably artillery; it was responsible for many of the deaths in World War 1.
In World War 1 around 8,500,000 soilders died during World War One. Now artillery killed the most people in World War 1. But to be totally honest it is impossible to know exactly how many people died because of Artillery in World War 1. Studies have shown however that around 65% of all deaths during World War One were caused by artillery. If we do the math this comes out to around 5,525,000 people. So to answer your question no-one really knows but peoples best guess is that 4.5 to 5.5 million people died because of artillery in World War One.
