Before the representatives of various countries arrived in London for the peace talks, they methodically counted their own casualties and war consumption.
Compared to the somewhat chaotic Russia, the other European countries were the fastest to tally the figures.
The Allies mobilized a total of 29.14 million troops, with 14.21 million casualties and 5.11 million deaths. A total of 15.15 million civilian casualties and 4.11 million civilian deaths were recorded.
The Central Powers mobilized a total of 15.32 million troops, with 9.4 million casualties and more than 4.1 million deaths. There were 9.75 million civilian casualties, including 2.32 million deaths.
Although there must be some discrepancy between the figures reported by each country and the actual numbers, given the severity of World War I, the differences are likely not significant.
The data also shows that the military suffered the most casualties, but the impact on civilians was also significant.
