    what was the death rate - the war between USA and japan in WWII
    I am sure it was 1,000,000 japanese soldiers VS 100,000 USA soldiers.

    anyway I need a good ref, example wiki.


    manchus ruled china for 300 years till 1911.
    the population rate was 100,000,000 chinese VS1.000.000 manchus.
    Manchu conquest of China - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


    Then japan invaded since 1937-1945( jap took the chinese captial), and killed over 30,000,000 chinese. Some references say japanese killed 12-20 millions chinese

    Russia and USA saved china , Otherwise china should ruled by japan now.

    What you must take into account is that the Imperial Army had a "no surrender" policy. Idiotic but true. Japanese military were expected to die before surrender.

    Japan: 1.740.000 KIA, DOW, MIA, 94.000 WIA and 393.400 POW.

    Japan Casualties: about 21.000 KIA against Soviet Union in 1938-1939, 339.000 in China and 1.380.000 in Pacific and Southeast Asia.


    the ratio of casualties approximately 1 to 3.6 (in total) , but was greater in combat: about 1 - 9 or 1-10 due to the allied naval and air superiority and the stupid and useless Banzai attacks.
