YSK 3-4% of the world died in WWII
Why YSK: Understanding the scale of total destruction a major world war can have will help understand how modern wars can affect us.
\~ 2.3 billion people existed in the world before
WWII and about 70-85 million people died during the war that statistic of deaths was over the period of 6 years and let me show you why it's so insane.
If it was 70-85 million people who died it's roughly 35,000-39,000 people a day and 1,600 people a hour. These are people just like me and you by the way the reason I decided to post this was to bring attention to the fact. We usually see news but I know most of us will disregard it or take it by a grain of salt because we aren't in the conflict, or it hasn't affected us at all but it's important we are extremely aware that at any moment and given time the ongoing wars our government gets involved in can impact us.
