Answer :

Let's analyze the data provided in the chart showing Allied deaths from World War I and determine which two countries lost the smallest percentage of their populations.

The chart lists the countries along with the number of deaths and the percentage of their population lost due to these deaths.

Here is the data in detail:

- Russia: 1.1%
- France: 1.5%
- UK: 0.24%
- Italy: 1.6%
- Serbia: 5.7%
- US: 0.1%

We need to identify the two countries with the smallest percentages of their populations lost.

By inspecting the percentages, we see:

- US: 0.1% (smallest)
- UK: 0.24% (second-smallest)

Thus, the two countries that lost the smallest percentage of their populations are:

- US (0.1%)
- UK (0.24%)

So, the answer is:

The US and the UK
