War Casualties Ranking: Global Conflicts Since 1948
One month after the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza began, the death toll has reached alarming proportions as the situation grows more terrible and suggests that there may be more casualties. Israel declared that the battle may last for a few more months or possibly a year.
According to Palestinian sources, more Palestinians were slain in one month than were killed in the Ukraine conflict in almost two years, totaling 9,806 dead. Israel says that over 20,000 people have died as a result of Israeli bombings, including 2,716 women and 4,237 children, in addition to 25,956 wounded, according to Palestinian health officials.
The death toll from Israeli strikes has surpassed 10,328. One of the most severely damaged regions of Europe in the Second World War was Ukraine. It saw years of occupation, deprivation, and deadly combat as a major front in the Eastern Front. Michael Haynes has calculated that the overall number of dead in the Soviet Union during World War II ranges from an astounding 26.6 million to 42.7 million, however exact figures are hard to come by .
As Ukraine enters the conflict, the death toll is well into the millions, with over 1.5 million of those deaths being Jews who were slaughtered during the Holocaust by the Nazis, their allies, and collaborators .
Arab-Israeli Wars (1948-2008)
The British mandate of Palestine was divided into a Jewish state and an Arab state on November 29, 1947, by the United Nations (UN) in a vote recorded in United Nations Resolution 181. Jews and Arabs in Palestine started fighting almost immediately, starting on November 30 with an Arab ambush of a bus bringing Jewish passengers from Netanya to Jerusalem. The conflict worsened as Jewish and Arab forces engaged in hostile activities as British troops readied their withdrawal from Palestine.
The raid on the Arab town of Deir Yassin on April 9, 1948, was one of the most notorious incidents. When word got out of a slaughter there by the Stern Gang and Irgun Zvai Leumi, it caused a stir of terror and revenge.
Ukraine is Invaded by Russia
In an intensification of the Russo-Ukrainian War, which began in 2014, Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022. After World War II, the invasion grew to be the biggest assault on a European nation. Tens of thousands of civilian deaths and hundreds of thousands of military deaths are thought to have resulted from it in Ukraine. About 20% of Ukrainian land was under Russian military occupation by June 2022. By April 2023, around 8 million Ukrainians had been internally displaced and over 8.2 million had left the nation, resulting in the worst refugee catastrophe to hit Europe since World War II. Global food shortages were exacerbated by the war’s extensive environmental destruction, which has been called an ecocide. By April 2022, Russian forces had withdrawn from the northern front due to logistical difficulties and strong opposition from the Ukrainians.
Russia gained control of Mariupol in May following a blody siege, and Kherson in March on the fronts to the south and southeast. Russia resumed its attack in the Donbas and bombed civilian and military targets located distant from the front lines all winter long, including the electrical system. Ukraine successfully conducted counter offensives in the east and south towards the end of 2022. Russia declared the illegitimate annexation of four partially occupied areas shortly after.
Ukraine’s independence (1991–present)
In remembrance of the 1919 merger of the Ukrainian People’s Republic and the West Ukrainian National Republic, nearly 300,000 Ukrainians[35] organized a human chain for Ukrainian independence between Kyiv and Lviv on January 21, 1990.
People started to gather in the streets and on the roads, holding hands in favor of unity to form living chains. The Verkhovna Rada ratified the Ukrainian Declaration of State Sovereignty on July 16, 1990. The major goal of the Revolution on Granite, which occurred in Ukraine from October 2–17, 1990, was to stop the USSR from signing a new union treaty. Students’ demands were met when they signed a Verkhovna Rada resolution that ensured their fulfillment.
Israel-Hamas war 2023
Since October 7, 2023, there has been an armed confrontation between Israel and Palestinian terrorist organizations led by Hamas, mostly in and around the Gaza Strip. That day saw the beginning of the biggest military build-up in the area since the Yom Kippur War, which took place precisely fifty years earlier, when terrorist organizations launched an unexpected onslaught on southern Israel from the Gaza Strip.
Following the evacuation of Hamas terrorists from their territory, the Israeli forces began a massive aerial bombardment of the Gaza Strip on October 27. Shortly after, they launched a massive ground invasion. These hostilities, which are a component of the larger Gaza–Israel conflict, are the fifth war. The battle started when Palestinian terrorist organizations led by Hamas unexpectedly attacked Israel under the banner of “Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.”
A volley of rockets fired into Israel signaled the start of the onslaught, and about 3,000 militants broke across the Gaza–Israel border to target Israeli towns and military installations nearby. 1,139 Israelis and foreigners were slain in this incident, 766 of them were civilians. Hamas claimed responsibility for the incident, citing the siege of the Gaza Strip, the “desecration” of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
