A fascinating visualization of the deaths suffered by each country during WW2. Lot\'s of things I didn\'t know. For example, Ethiopia suffered as many losses on a per capita basis as the US. India lost more than the US, UK, Italy, Korea, and France combined. I knew about the massive Russian losses, but didn\'t know that China had lost nearly as many.\
\
What\'s the Chinese \"Saving Private Ryan\"? Or the Ethiopian \"Bridge on the River Kwai\"?\
\
Ethiopia: 100,000\
US: 418,500\
UK: 450,700\
Italy: 457,000\
Korea: 473,000\
France: 567,600\
Greece: 800,000\
Philippines: 1 million\
India: 2.5 million\
Japan: 3.1 million\
Poland: 5.6 million\
Germany: 8.8 million\
China: 20 million\
USSR: 24 million\
