To determine which country had the most casualties according to the given chart, we need to find the total casualties for each country by adding the number of soldiers killed and wounded for each country.
Here is the given data formatted in the chart:
- France:
- Killed: 1,700,000
- Wounded: 4,950,000
- Britain:
- Killed: 908,371
- Wounded: 4,226,000
- Russia:
- Killed: 1,357,800
- Wounded: 4,266,000
- United States:
- Killed: 116,516
- Wounded: 204,002
Step-by-Step Solution:
1. Compute the total casualties for each country by adding the killed and wounded numbers:
- France:
[tex]\( 1,700,000 \, (\text{killed}) + 4,950,000 \, (\text{wounded}) = 6,650,000 \, (\text{total casualties}) \)[/tex]
- Britain:
[tex]\( 908,371 \, (\text{killed}) + 4,226,000 \, (\text{wounded}) = 5,134,371 \, (\text{total casualties}) \)[/tex]
- Russia:
[tex]\( 1,357,800 \, (\text{killed}) + 4,266,000 \, (\text{wounded}) = 5,623,800 \, (\text{total casualties}) \)[/tex]
- United States:
[tex]\( 116,516 \, (\text{killed}) + 204,002 \, (\text{wounded}) = 320,518 \, (\text{total casualties}) \)[/tex]
2. Compare the total casualties to determine which country had the most:
- France: 6,650,000
- Britain: 5,134,371
- Russia: 5,623,800
- United States: 320,518
3. Identify the country with the highest total number of casualties:
- The highest total is 6,650,000, which is the number of total casualties for France.
Conclusion:
The country that had the most casualties according to the chart is France.
