Compare the total casualties caused by WW2 with the total number of deaths resulting from traffic accidents of the past 50 years.
Which stands at a high number? If you don't know the exact number either, please offer your guess.
Answer by ?
traffic as in just cars? not trains? i'd say WWII although i'm not sure. it could very well be accidents. say 5 000 people die a year from each country in traffic accidents. times that by about 300 (i think there is about 360 plus countries) give or take the big and small countries balance themselves out. then times 5000 by 300 = 1.5 mil) 1.5 mil by 50 = 75 million. so now im thinking traffic accidents lol. the reason i used 5000 is because countries with higher populations would have more accidents vs those with lower populations so i balanced it out.
This is not accurate in anyway. i'm just making a guess.

Most of the world countries had little or no cars 50 years ago, 5000 dead per country is a huge estimate. And there's around 200 countries, not 300. So, WWII is still the big killer (estimates : 62 to 78 millions dead).
