List of Wars by Death Toll
This list of wars by death toll includes death toll estimates of all deaths that are either directly or indirectly
caused by war. These numbers usually include both the deaths of military personnel which are the direct results
of battle or other military wartime actions, as well as the wartime/war-related deaths of civilians, which are the
results of war-induced epidemics, diseases, famines, atrocities, genocide, etc.

"It is also apparent that the shared history of the hemisphere is one framed by the dual tragedies of genocide and slavery
,
both of which are part of the legacy of the European invasions of the past 500 years. Indigenous people north and south
were displaced, died of disease, and were killed by Europeans through slavery , rape and war. In 1491, about 145 million
people lived in the western hemisphere. By 1691, the population of indigenous Americans had declined by 90–95
percent."

York Times article, “New Estimate Raises Civil W ar Death Toll,” reports that a new study ratchets up the death toll from
an estimated 650,000 to a staggering 850,000 people. As horrific as this new number is, it fails to reflect the mortality of
former slaves during the war. If former slaves were included in this figure, the Civil W ar death toll would likely be over
a million casualties... the rough 19th century estimate was that 60,000 former slaves died from [war -related diseases and
starvation], but doctors treating black patients often claimed that they were unable to keep accurate records due to
demands on their time and the lack of manpower and resources... tens of thousands of other slaves who died had no
contact with army doctors, leaving no records of their deaths".
