Deaths in World War I
As you might imagine World war I was one of the bloodiest events in frankly all of human history. I was thinking about putting pictures in here and I encourage you to do a picture search of WWI, of mass graves and people starving, soldiers dead,... trenches. I will make you feel ill and.. it's probably a good thing to look for these images.
Because it will remind you how disgusting, gross and crazy wars can be. Sometimes we abstract it.
When we look at it in hindsight and we just talk about the numbers. WWI was gruesome especially because this was the first time industrialized weapons were put to use in a war context.
There was far more bloodshed than any of the fighting powers actually believed there would be.
But, just to put things in numbers, and these are huge numbers, numbers that are hard for us to comprehend.
And, we don't know the exact numbers.
As you can imagine, it is not easy to take a census the militaries have a better count of who might have been kille or who might be missing.
Civilian casualties are almost impossible to count.
You have people who are invertantly killed by a bomb, or dying of starvation or a famine.
So, these are very hard numbers to count.
But there is some concensus on the rough estimates, on the total casualties in WWI.
In particular I want to focus on the deaths.
When people talk about casualties, then we often also talk about injured.
But just the deads alone, the estimates I see and I encourages you to look it your own and trying to figure out what concensus you can get to.
But the estimates that I see have on the order of 16 millions deaths during or due to WWI and if were to break down these deads we have 8 to 10 million in the military.
So directly, in the military, this is the death of soldiers So this is the military.
It is roughly based on the accounts of On the accounts that I've seen, about 16 percent of these deaths were amongst the Entente. And about 40 percent were amongst the central powers.
But in either case, we're talking about millions on either side of WWI.
And the rest, if we are talking in the order of 6-7 million, were civilian The estimates that I've seen were directly due to military action.
So this is military action civilians.
This was disproportionately felt on the side of the Entente, on the side of the allies.
That's if you look at, especially, I suppose, where the western front was fought, it becomes clear, also where the eastern front was fought it was thought, the war was fought on Russian land, or was controlled by the Russian Empire at the time.
The western front much of the, or most of the battle was in France and in Belgium. And also in Italy.
That was also where you have a significant amount of the battle actually going on.
This is were the allies, the Entente, felt a disproportionate number of the civilian deaths, directly to due military casualties.
To put on top of that: the rest of the civilian casualties.
This is what, frankly, very hard to get an exact number on.
This could be due to famine, starvation, disease, we've talk before about the blockades, the central powers and you have definitely people not being able to eat properly you had the Spanish Flu.
You had this all around ugly situations.
To make matter worse, and this is is what the history books often forget:
You often had an explicit extermination of people, during WWI the most notable, but often forgotten was the Armenian genocide.
There was this campaign on the part of the Ottomans.
This started before WWI, but it kind of hit full page during WWI where, I have seen estimates, 1 million into 1,5 millions Armenians were systematically I mean, I am talking about men, women, children, systematically killed by the Ottoman government.
So, war is ugly and brings out the worst in people and you see it just from these numbers.
Just to give you a context on all of this it's very easy for us to abstract these things.
I just wanted to say how horrible this was.
Just to bring it all into focus this right here is a passage from the Atlantic Monthly, volume 129, published in 1922. It is a passage on Joseph Tumulty's book.
Joseph Tumulty was the private secretary of staff, of Woodrow Wilson.
This is about his account of being with Woodrow Wilson, after the war was declared in WWI It is fascinating, it applies to frankly all wars The war president in the war.
At the time of delivering his far echoed war message in April, 1917, the president was cheered by dense multitudes phronging (?) the streets past from the White House, to the Capitol and back again.
This is from Tumulty own description of the return own description of the return for a while he, we're talking about Woodrow Wilson, he sat silent and pale in the cabinet room.
At at last, he said, think what it was they were applauding my message today was a message of death for our young men.
How strange it seems to applaud that.
