The Northwest Indian War (1785-1795) resulted in significant casualties for the US Military, primarily due to the fierce resistance from various Native American tribes defending their lands. This conflict was marked by intense battles, such as the Battle of Fallen Timbers, and highlighted the challenges faced by American forces in the region. In comparison, the combined toll of five subsequent Indian wars, which included conflicts like the Seminole Wars and the Apache Wars, did not reach the same level of casualties as experienced during the Northwest Indian War. This underscores the intensity and scale of the conflict as Native tribes united against encroaching settlers and military forces.
The American Civil War resulted in approximately 620,000 to 750,000 casualties. In comparison, the combined casualties of World War I (around 116,516 U.S. military deaths), the Korean War (approximately 36,574 U.S. military deaths), the Vietnam War (about 58,220 U.S. military deaths), and the Gulf War (around 294 U.S. military deaths) do not exceed the Civil War's total. This illustrates the immense scale of loss during the Civil War compared to these more recent conflicts.
It is a casualty (casualties ;. plural)
The Northwest Indian War (1785 -1795) was a war between the United States and a confederation of numerous Indian tribes (supported by the British), for control of the Northwest Territory, as Ohio, Indiana, and the surrounding areas were then known. The war followed centuries of conflict over this territory, first among Native American tribes, and then as Great Britain and France began trading in the region, plus Scot-Irish immigration and the rise of the United States. This 10-year war caused more American casualties than those of the West against Cochise, Geronimo, Sitting Bull, and the other famous Indian chiefs.
The US Army has suffered the most casualties in the Iraq and Afghanistan.
Allied Military Casualties: 14,276,800 Allied Civilian Casualties: 25,686,900 Allied Total Casualties: 39,963,700
Germans inflicted heavy casualties on their enemies during both World Wars through a combination of advanced military tactics, superior technology, and effective use of logistics. In World War I, for instance, their use of machine guns and artillery led to devastating losses for Allied forces. In World War II, the Blitzkrieg strategy allowed for rapid and coordinated assaults, overwhelming opponents before they could effectively respond. These tactics contributed significantly to the high casualty rates among enemy forces throughout these conflicts.
The losing side.
Overall, the number of casualties inflicted upon the Americans during the Vietnam War was 58,156. As for Vietnamese casualties, there were over 5 million. However, nobody counted exactly so we are unsure of the exact answer.
The US Civil War probably caused more American casualties then any other war before or after that war. When the results of a battle lists the number of casualties, it means that soldiers that were either killed of sent to military hospitals due to battle wounds are classified as casualties.
Mostly in France
The total allied casualties of world war two with civilians and military goes up to 39,963,700 compared to the axis casualties of 48,231,700.
