How many white people was in world war 1 and 2?

The number of white people who participated in World War I and II is difficult to determine precisely as statistics on race were not widely collected during those conflicts. However, it is estimated that a substantial proportion of the soldiers and civilians involved in both world wars were white. Many European countries, such as France, Britain, Germany, and Russia, had predominantly white populations and would have contributed a significant number of white soldiers. Additionally, the United States, which had a large white population, also participated actively in both wars. It is estimated that around 10 million American servicemen served in World War I, and approximately 16 million Americans served in World War II. While not all of these individuals were white, a large majority would have been.
