2978748 is the estimated military casualty amount of the Ottoman Empire between 1703 and 1923 [3] (INCLUDING THE INDEPENDENCE WAR) which exclude the RECORDED wounded amount (some of the causalities might have wounded included in them but there is no easy way to differ them). Estimated losses I've considered to be the highest amount possible, eg. Wiki lists 10K-20K and I pick 20K to add to the Excel sheet.
Some of these wars (they consist of small conflicts and uprisings) dont have recorded casualties so I had to guess the number by the scale of the army roughly 20 to 5 per cent and some of these conflicts dont even have army scales listed so I gave each one from 50 up to 20K, I think I was generous enough.
>redditWe add the losses since the year 1923 [2] which is
16996 (again its estimated) and we get
2995744.
>nigger spaceSince this is mostly military losses we need to include the non-combatant losses.
The average civilian casualty rate from 1700 to present day is estimated to be 50% [1] so we basically multiply the number by two which makes
5,991,488>1488As you know, Turkish history is heavily biased when it comes to losses and I am not sure wether these numbers come from the Turkish historians or European historians so we can get even more generous and inflate the numer to
