Understanding 16 million deaths doesn't seem like a lot but it is. 16 million people dead could mean that an entire country would be wiped out. An African country called Guinea-Bissau's population is 1,704,255, as of 2013. The African country Senegal has a population of 14,133,280. Both countries could be wiped out and that still is 162,465 shy of people. Still, having 162,465 people dead is a lot! Just thinking that 2 countries full of people could one day have nobody occupying the land. There are so many possibilities of why 2 countries are vacant: disease, war, cannibalism, and in some cases malnutrition.
Even all the students in high schools on Long Island would die. All 476,093 students dead. That is just a small number in the 16 million deaths. Hitler didn't even kill that many people, he was the cause of 11 million deaths. Stalin was in charge of the 3.3 million deaths. With all of those deaths together, the numbers haven't even reached 16 million. Of course, the 11 million deaths were consisted of Jews, Communists, homosexuals, the disabled and anyone who basically weren't German but thats a different topic.
