This '''list of wars by death toll''' includes all deaths that are either directly or indirectly caused by the war. These numbers usually include the deaths of military personnel which are the direct results of a battle or other military wartime actions, as well as the wartime/war-related deaths of civilians which are the results of war-induced epidemics, famines, atrocities, genocide, etc. |

While the definition of war isn't entirely clear-cut, there is a general understanding of what it is. [[Merriam-Webster]] defines war as "a state of usually open and declared armed hostile conflict between states or nations",<ref>{{Cite web |title=war |url=https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/war |website=[[Merriam-Webster]]}}</ref> [[Oxford English Dictionary]] defines war as "hostile contention by means of armed forces, carried on between nations, states, or rulers, or between parties in the same nation or state; the employment of armed forces against a foreign power, or against an opposing party in the state",<ref>{{Cite web |title=war |url=https://www.oed.com/dictionary/war_n1?tl=true |website=[[Oxford English Dictionary]]}}</ref> and [[Encyclopædia Britannica]] defines war as "a conflict between political groups involving hostilities of considerable duration and magnitude".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Frankel |first=Joseph |title=war |url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/war |website=[[Encyclopædia Britannica]]|date=21 September 2024 }}</ref> |
|||
This list excludes [[mass killing]]s and atrocities not explicitly classified as genocides, as well as genocides occurring outside of wartime, [[Human sacrifice|human sacrifices]], [[Ethnic cleansing|ethnic cleansing operations]], and acts of [[state terrorism]] or [[political repression]] during peacetime.{{Efn|Some examples would include the [[Dirty War]] (22,000–30,000 killed), the [[Cultural Revolution]] (0.4-20 million killed), the Rubber Terror (1.5-13 million killed), the excess mortality period in the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin (3.2-9 million killed), the [[Transatlantic slave trade]], the [[Arab slave trade]], the Native American Indian genocide, the [[Human sacrifice in pre-Columbian cultures]] (20,000-250,000 killed yearly in the Aztec Empire alone), the [[Dzungar genocide]] (420,000-480,000 killed), or the [[Herero and Nama genocide]] (34,000-110,000 killed). Information about these events might be found in the [[List of genocides]] or in the [[List of ethnic cleansing campaigns]].}} |

|1–2 million<ref>Historian John F. Richards estimates that the cumulative impact of Akbar’s campaigns in the north, including the Siege of Ranthambore and the Third Battle of Panipat, led to the deaths of 1 million people or more, both from direct military action and the resulting famines and displacements (John F. Richards, The Mughal Empire, 1993). Similarly, Satish Chandra’s analysis highlights the widespread destruction and execution orders that contributed to a high civilian death toll (Satish Chandra, Medieval India: From Sultanate to the Mughals, 1997). |

The total number of deaths resulting from the Mughal conquest of North India (1526–1605) is difficult to ascertain, as historical records from the period do not provide exact cumulative figures. However, estimates from modern historians suggest that between 1 million and 2 million people, including both military personnel and civilians, perished as a result of warfare, massacres, and famines caused by the Mughal campaigns.</ref> |

"An 2 April 2012 New York Times article, "New Estimate Raises Civil War Death Toll," reports that a new study ratchets up the death toll from an estimated 650,000 to a staggering 850,000 people. As horrific as this new number is, it fails to reflect the mortality of former slaves during the war. If former slaves were included in this figure, the Civil War death toll would likely be over a million casualties... the rough 19th century estimate was that 60,000 former slaves died from [war-related diseases and starvation], but doctors treating black patients often claimed that they were unable to keep accurate records due to demands on their time and the lack of manpower and resources... tens of thousands of other slaves who died had no contact with army doctors, leaving no records of their deaths".</ref> |

Medieval wars (500–1500 AD)
This section may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: limit to wars under a single leader or ruler, it is impossible to objectively compare 500 years of intermittent warfare with a given military campaign. (May 2018) |
Note: the identity of a single "war" cannot be reliably given in some cases, and some "wars" can be taken to last over more than a human lifetime, e.g. "Reconquista" (711–1492, 781 years) "Muslim conquests in the Indian subcontinent" (12th to 16th c., 500 years) "Crusades" (ten or more campaigns during the period 1095–1291, 196 years), "Mongol invasions and conquests" (1206–1368, 162 years), "early Muslim conquests" (622–750, 128 years), "Hundred Years' War" (1337–1453, 116 years).

- ^ One estimate placed total Spanish deaths from all causes at 18,000. The fatal losses among the Dominican insurgents were estimated at 4,000.[33]
- ^ One author estimates Mexican casualties at 1,000 dead, 700 prisoners, and 400 wounded. Desertion and noncombat deaths would significantly increase these numbers. The Texans lost about 600 killed and 350 wounded.

Thus ended for a time one of the bloodiest wars in history. During the two years and more the loss of life was frightful; nothing remains upon which to base a reliable estimate, but the War Monument at Kiuto, and the accounts of such battles as Kyong-chu, Choung-chu, Haing chu, the Im Chiu River, Pyongyang, Yenan, the massacre at Söul, Ulsan and Chiu-chu, and fifty other engagements would make a million lives a conservative estimate.

In Algeria, colonization and genocidal massacres proceeded in tandem. From 1830 to 1847, its European settler population quadrupled to 104,000. Of the native Algerian population of approximately 3 million in 1830, about 500,000 to 1 million perished in the first three decades of French conquest.

As horrific as this new number is, it fails to reflect the mortality of former slaves during the war. If former slaves were included in this figure, the Civil War death toll would likely be over a million casualties... the rough 19th century estimate was that 60,000 former slaves died from [war-related diseases and starvation], but doctors treating black patients often claimed that they were unable to keep accurate records due to demands on their time and the lack of manpower and resources... tens of thousands of other slaves who died had no contact with army doctors, leaving no records of their deaths".
