How many veterans died all together in the world wars?

It is difficult to determine the precise number of veterans who died in all the World Wars, as the data on this is often inconsistent, dispersed, and affected by various factors like post-war epidemics and the long-term effects of injuries and illnesses. However, here is a general overview of the casualties among military personnel during the major world wars:

World War I (1914–1918)

- Total military deaths: Approximately 17 million

World War II (1939–1945)

- Total military deaths: Approximately 70–85 million (includes military personnel from all sides of the conflict)

These figures represent the deaths of military personnel during the respective world wars, including those killed in combat, accidents, diseases, and other causes related to military service. However, it is worth noting that the number of veterans who died after the wars due to war-related factors such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), injuries, or illnesses is not precisely known.

Furthermore, the total number of veterans who died during or after the world wars would also include those who passed away due to natural causes, which would be much harder to determine and would require extensive research and data compilation.
