The most terrible war in the world
His most horrific records date back to World War II. It is also the bloodiest - the total number of its victims is more than 71 million. The total loss of the warring countries is estimated at one and a half to even two trillion dollars, in excess of the material losses in all previous wars.
In this war, 73 of the 62 countries on the planet, or 80 percent of the world's population, took part in one form or another. The war took place on land, in the sky and at sea - battles were fought on three continents and in four ocean waters. This is the only war in which nuclear weapons have been used so far.
