Answer :

Based on the information provided, we need to determine which country suffered the fewest combined military and civilian deaths during World War II. We are given data for Great Britain, Japan, Poland, and the United States.

Let's list the combined military and civilian deaths for each country:

1. Great Britain
- Military deaths: 24,413
- Civilian deaths: 4,814
- Total deaths: 24,413 + 4,814 = 29,227

2. Japan
- Military deaths: 1,700,000
- Civilian deaths: 14,121,011
- Total deaths: 1,700,000 + 14,121,011 = 15,821,011

3. Poland
- Military deaths: 127,170
- Civilian deaths: 610,101
- Total deaths: 127,170 + 610,101 = 737,271

4. United States
- Military deaths: 292,131
- Civilian deaths: 14,011,011
- Total deaths: 292,131 + 14,011,011 = 14,303,142

Now, comparing the total deaths, we get:
- Great Britain: 29,227
- Japan: 15,821,011
- Poland: 737,271
- United States: 14,303,142

From these numbers, it is clear that Great Britain had the fewest combined military and civilian deaths with a total of 29,227.

Therefore, the country that suffered the fewest military and civilian deaths during World War II is Great Britain.
