To determine about how many casualties the major countries suffered during World War, we first need to sum up the casualties from each of the major countries listed in the table. The table provides the total casualties for Great Britain, Germany, France, and the United States.
Here are the total casualties for each country:
- Great Britain: 3,190,235
- Germany: 7,142,558
- France: 6,180,800
- United States: 323,018
Now, we add these values together step-by-step:
1. Add the total casualties for Great Britain and Germany:
[tex]\[
3,190,235 + 7,142,558 = 10,332,793
\][/tex]
2. Next, add the total casualties for France to the sum obtained in the previous step:
[tex]\[
10,332,793 + 6,180,800 = 16,513,593
\][/tex]
3. Finally, add the total casualties for the United States to the sum obtained in the previous step:
[tex]\[
16,513,593 + 323,018 = 16,836,611
\][/tex]
So, the total number of casualties suffered by the major countries during the war is 16,836,611.
Given the options:
7 million, 13 million, 17 million, 25 million
The closest estimate to 16,836,611 is 17 million. Thus, the answer is:
17 million
