Any addition to these statistics is welcome. Edited September 18 by Lima Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lima Posted September 18 Author Share Posted September 18 (edited) June 1907 - starting postition. There is a classic meat grinder between Russia and Austria. Statistics of warring countries at the beginning of the study. Next, I will focus on Russia, as it has larger losses.

Lima Posted September 18 Author Share Posted September 18 (edited) Well, I think that losses in battles do not affect the population and the army enough. I understand that not all of these losses are killed in action. And that the population has a natural increase, and the army is replenished by mobilization. But the total loss of 200 000 in one month is a lot. However, you won't actually see that it significantly affects a warring country. All these millions of losses mean nothing, and such meat grinders can continue for decades without significant consequences.

Lima Posted September 18 Author Share Posted September 18 So in total for 5 months: Losses: 881101 Army: -15192 Home Population: -300 Other population: -3220 For comparison, Battle of the Somme lasted 140 days. The British and French lost about 600k people, of which about 140k KIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
