The total number of people killed in WWII 60 million people or 2.5% of world population. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualties
I mean think about that number 60 million. Just wow. And I don't think that includes all of the people killed during the Holodomor or the Great Leap Forward. The 20th century was unprecedented across the world in aggregate numbers of deaths. But since world population is now 8 billion ... humanity has still come out ahead. But we should never forget the 60 million human beings killed in WWII whether in the battles, the starvation, the ethnic cleansing, the concentration camps, or fire bombing.
