Of what is listed Germany lost the highest percentage of its population. Their numbers, though, were no where near the percentages of what was lost by the USSR. More men were lost there. Russia actually had both men, women, and children fighting in the war. This allowed for a greater chance of more loss of life.
Which war are you talking about?

Explanation:
Roosevelt was not an isolationist at heart. But WWI was still fresh in the minds of the general public. Many families had lost relatives which up until WWII was the most devastating war the world had seen. Many Americans didn't want to get involved in Europe's politics and problems. A marvelous movie has been made about this called <em>The Americanization of Emily</em> staring a very young Julie Andrews (who does not sing a note) and a very handsome earthy James Garner. It captures beautifully how Americans felt about getting involved in other people's wars.
Roosevelt himself wanted to help Great Britain, but the problems with domestic worries in the United States forced him to hesitate. He needed something to motivate the public into getting into a war they did not want.
Japan provided him with Pearl Harbor. The American Public was moved into action. Some of the Japanese knew it, including the architect of the attack on Pearl Harbor (Admiral Yamamoto who famously said "All we have accomplished was to awaken a sleeping giant.")
So began the bloodiest war the planet has ever seen.
I'm sorry this is so long, but you cannot talk about the transition period of WWII without knowing how people felt.
I would say a key feature of the European Renaissance culture would be that, because of the Renaissance, things such as reading and knowledge of things became much more popular, creating a more educated population. Classical literature became popular once again too. There was also the fact that humanism emerged during this era, which was basically the individual thought and self-admiration of human beings rather than human beings being despicable, unworthy beings under God. People like Michelangelo, Da-Vinci, and Raphael were amazing artists that could show examples of humanism in their artworks, especially da-vinci with his sketches. hope this helps ya :)
