Question

The death rate during the civil war was five times greater than world war ii true or false

Answer 1

This is a true statement. This could partially be attributed to the more crude forms of warfare that were used during the Civil War. Without the use of air warfare, all the fighting took place on the ground and at sea: this led to larger numbers of casualties on both sides. In addition, with the larger percentage of people from the US being a part of the armed forces, the death rate was necessarily going to be higher during the Civil War.

Answer 2

That’s true. The civil war death rate is 620.000 while the death rate world war II is 405.399  

EXPLANATION

In the mid-19th century, the United States entered a civil war that proved to be more bloody than other conflicts in American history, this war would later trigger the slaughter of the Western Front I of the World War and the global massacre of the 20th century.

The Civil War is the bloodiest conflict in America. This conflict is so severe that it has never happened before. The battles of Stones River Antietam, Shiloh, and Gettysburg produced casualties which surprised international observers. The number of prisoners killed in the Civil War was almost as many as those killed during the entire Vietnam War. Hundreds of thousands died due to disease. About 2% of the population, an estimated 620,000 men lost their lives in carrying out their duties. Taken from the current percentage of the population, the number of victims will increase to 6 million.

The Numbers Illustrated

Nobody expects the human cost of the Civil War. It was beyond everyone’s expectations. America's young generation has experienced bloodshed of a magnitude so severe that it has never happened in other American conflicts.

Some believe that the number is not 620,000 but 850,000. However the Civil War Trust does not agree with this claim.
