The American Civil War (1861-1865) resulted in approximately 620,000 to 750,000 military deaths, making it one of the deadliest conflicts in U.S. history. This death toll far exceeds that of other American wars, such as World War II, which saw around 405,000 U.S. military deaths, and the Vietnam War, which claimed roughly 58,000 lives. The Civil War's casualties were particularly devastating given the population size at the time, representing about 2% of the U.S. population in 1860. This high percentage underscores the war's profound impact on American society and its historical significance.
