Korean War Deaths

According to some estimates: 33,741 Americans, but about 2,800,000 total casualties counting North Korea (military and civilian), South Korea, China and UN troops.

These numbers include military and civlian casualties and since so many sources have different numbers, these are the averages.
South Korea - 595,000
North Korea - 1,316,579
China - 500,000
United States - 33,000
United Kingdom - 1,078
Turkey - 717
Canada - 310
France - 290
Australia - 281
Greece - 170
Colombia - 140
Ethiopia - 120
Netherlands - 110
Thailand - 110
Belgium - 100
Philippines - 90
Total - 2,448,095  

Actually...

it is estimated that about 10 million people died during the Korean war. That's about the same amount of people killed during WW1

Seven million soldiers died
Three million civilians died

There are so many conflicting reports on the total of deaths in the Korean war. I just watched a documentary on the history channel that stated that

2.5 million North Korean soldiers and civilians
1.5 million South Korean soldiers and civilians
1 million Chinese soldiers and civilians
55 thousand American soldiers
500 Canadian soldiers
300 Australian soldiers
and a further 5000 UN soldiers from a number of different countries all lost their lives in the Korean war



The Korean War has never officially ended, there is a cease fire in effect. With recent events you would have to increase the number of KIA by the total of the sailors taken out by the N. Korean Sub.
