<h3>Why were casualties of civilian population high during ww1?</h3>
It has been estimated that the number of civilian deaths attributable to the war was higher than the military casualties, or around 13,000,000. These civilian deaths were largely caused by
- starvation
- exposure
- disease
- military encounters
- and massacres.
With this information, we can conclude that Some 8,500,000 soldiers died as a result of wounds or disease during World War I. Perhaps as many as 13,000,000 civilians also died. This immensely large number of deaths dwarfed that of any previous war, largely because of the new technologies and styles of warfare used in World War I.
