D. The United States



Answer :

To determine which country had the most casualties, we need to calculate the total number of casualties (killed + wounded) for each country based on the values provided in the chart. Let's break down each country's casualties step-by-step:

1. Russia

Number of killed: [tex]\( 1,700,000 \)[/tex]

Number of wounded: [tex]\( 4,950,000 \)[/tex]

Total casualties: [tex]\( 1,700,000 + 4,950,000 = 6,650,000 \)[/tex]

2. Britain

Number of killed: [tex]\( 908,371 \)[/tex]

Number of wounded: [tex]\( 4,226,000 \)[/tex]

Total casualties: [tex]\( 908,371 + 4,226,000 = 5,134,371 \)[/tex]

3. France

Number of killed: [tex]\( 1,357,800 \)[/tex]

Number of wounded: [tex]\( 4,266,000 \)[/tex]

Total casualties: [tex]\( 1,357,800 + 4,266,000 = 5,623,800 \)[/tex]

4. United States

Number of killed: [tex]\( 116,516 \)[/tex]

Number of wounded: [tex]\( 204,002 \)[/tex]

Total casualties: [tex]\( 116,516 + 204,002 = 320,518 \)[/tex]

Looking at the total casualty numbers:

- Russia: [tex]\( 6,650,000 \)[/tex]
- Britain: [tex]\( 5,134,371 \)[/tex]
- France: [tex]\( 5,623,800 \)[/tex]
- United States: [tex]\( 320,518 \)[/tex]

Clearly, Russia had the highest number of casualties with [tex]\( 6,650,000 \)[/tex] in total.

So, the country with the most casualties according to the chart is Russia.
