The deadliest conflicts in history: A perspective on annual death tolls

Throughout history, wars have shaped nations, redefined borders, and left an immeasurable impact on humanity. While total casualty counts are often used to measure the scale of these conflicts, analyzing wars by their annual death tolls offers a different lens through which to assess their intensity and devastation. According to Statista Archive, World War II remains the deadliest conflict in human history, with an estimated 85 million total deaths. Spanning from 1939 to 1945, the war resulted in an average of 14.17 million deaths per year, making it the most intense large-scale war ever recorded.
