<<No, WWII was primarily a battle of American and British (including colonial) forces against the combined armies of Germany, Japan, and Italy>>

What?!?!?!?!? Have you forgot about the USSR, remember those guys???? Looking at the table that YOU provided it shows that they had 27 million in deaths and casualties (a factor of 40 more than the next allied nation on the list....the UK). The US ended up with the same as France (600,000) followed by the Poles.

<<Maybe less of a "world war" than is normally the perception, eh?>>

Where you draw this conclusion from is baffling to me.....your own table shows just how global the effects were!!!
