Overall,France lost 1,357,600 persons, with a total of 6,160,800 casualties, during the war. Only the Russian Empire sustained more losses,among the Allies, and it was far more vast. spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk Instead of supplying a list of losses, which are difficult to fathom, we thought it appropriate to mention the percentage of a country's population directly afflicted. During the course of World War One, eleven percent (11%) of France's entire population were killed or wounded! Eight percent (8%) of Great Britain's population were killed or wounded, and nine percent (9%) of Germany's pre-war population were killed or wounded! The United States, which did not enter the land war in strength until 1918, suffered one-third of one percent (0.37%) of its population killed or wounded. richthofen.com
