- metafunctor 11y agoThat could be it. Maybe also deaths per year (the Chinese Cival War took a longer time), or a combination. Statistics, damn lies, etcetera.
- tim333 11y agoFrom Pinker's book during the Korean war about 4.5 percent of the population died from disease and starvation in every year vs about 2% of the US population in total for the US Civil War. Daresay not sure how civil that was - there were other powers involved at various stages.
