		World War I was a war without parallel - all previous wars were eclipsed by its scale of destruction.
		World War I is also regarded as the first "total war" in which the combatants mobilised all their resources, military, industrial and human, on a scale never before thought possible.
		The catalyst for the war was the death of Austria's Archduke Franz Ferdinand, who was assassinated while he was visiting Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia, which was then part of the Austro-Hungarian empire.

	WWII: The Casualties
		The purpose is to indicate the immensity of the human losses in this most terrible of all wars, one characterized by unspeakable atrocities, germ warfare, enormous civilian casualties, genocide of 5 1/2 million European Jews, and the use of a new and terror-laden weapon of war--the atomic bomb.
		Estimates of the death toll attributable to the war for military and civilian losses have ranged upward to 60 million, with civilian losses at or more than 50 percent of that total (a stark contrast with the losses of WWI, in which such losses were no more than five percent).
		Ally of Germany in the invasion of the Soviet Union; sigbed armistice with the latter in September 1944.

		I was of course aware that the unit had suffered a rather high number of casualties, My intention was to prepare a listing which would be as complete and accurate as possible, be computerized in a form that other persons and other units could use, and was as user friendly as possible.
		Even though casualties to commanders at all levels in the unit were often extreme, almost complete, and reinforcements were often limited, periodic checks were certainly made to reconcile live soldiers and records, even if only for pay and allowance purposes (only?).
		Casualties usually lost their temporary ranks, which was a bit frustrating when the soldier returned to action.

		In conclusion, I will discuss the overall effects that gas had on World War I. A current definition of chemical warfare is the "aspects of military operations involving the employment of lethal and incapacitating chemical munitions or agents." However, on the eve of World War I, no definition of chemical warfare existed.
		The primary gases used in World War I were chlorine, phosgene, a mix of chlorine and phosgene, and mustard.
		As the war progressed, the Allies, although unable to agree on a common mask, were able to experiment with different types of masks until they found the best masks for their troops.

		World War II was a watershed in which the number of civilian casualties almost equaled that of combatants.
		According to a report prepared by the International Committee of the Red Cross, titled "Women and War" and based on two years of research from 1998 to 1999, approximately 80 percent of war victims are women and children.
		These are war crimes even if they are committed against combatants and should be awarded with exemplary punishment to curb its use as a tool for intimidation or human degradation.

		The 'Great War', which began on 28 July 1914 with Austria-Hungary's declaration of war with Serbia, and which ended with the German armistice of 11 November 1918, produced a vast number of casualties and deaths - and similarly vast numbers of missing soldiers.
		Attributing civilian casualties to the effects of war is a subjective process at best; the scale of the First World War certainly resulted in an absence of even the most approximate figures for affected nations.
		A "pal's battalion" was comprised of soldiers raised in the same locality with the promise they would serve with their friends for the duration of the war.

		It is somewhat unreliable, since it includes multiple enlistments in the case of wars prior to 1900, and is a gross figure, including all personnel ever in the service during the conflict.
		In addition, figures for post-1945 wars are polluted to some extent by the fact that a significant portion of the forces under arms during these conflicts were not actually directly engaged in the war, but were securing the nation's other global commitments.
		Under Percentages, KIA refers to the percent of those enrolled killed in action, Dead to the percent dead from all causes, and Casualty to the percent killed or injured.

	The Western Front — 1914 - 1918
		This new great war, called World War One, began as a local disturbance in Southern Europe but eventually spread into a worldwide struggle which produced two of the greatest bloodlettings in history; the battles of the Somme and Verdun.
		Militarily the war in the west began on August 4, 1914, when German troops from seven Armies swept into Luxembourg and Belgium as part of the "Schleiffen plan," which required a sweeping move through neutral Belgium and down to Paris from the North.
		This series of battles, one of the greatest slaughters in history until that time, did not achieve Falkenhayn's goals, because his men, who had been trained to attack, continued attacking against all odds in the mistaken belief that their efforts would be followed up.

		By wading through the swamp of war propaganda produced by Germany, England, France, and Belgium, and by sifting through the multitude of personal narratives written by soldiers and observers, an overall picture of the Belgian nation during the First World War begins to take shape.
		But Germany failed to achieve its war aims in the process, in part because Germany was too busy dealing with internal problems at the end of the war to deal with Belgium decisively, and in part because Bissing did not make a strenuous effort to realize them.
		Later in the war, the German situation was dire indeed, and new pressures from the military gave industrialists and Pan-German politicians a staunch ally in their fight for further exploitative policies.
