Deaths in a war can be calculated in many ways. Usually the figures represent the deaths of soldiers on active duty, civilians killed by direct military action and similar - but ignore deaths from wounds at a later time, deaths from general privation, deaths from disease and similar.
The total number of casualties (killed and wounded) in World War I, both military and civilian, is generally estimated to be about 37 million: 16 million deaths and 21 million wounded.
The deaths include 9.7 million military personnel and about 6.8 million civilians. Allied losses were 5.7 million soldiers and the Central Powers about 4 million.

Due to inaccurate reporting and lost or destroyed records the following numbers are approximate. According to research conducted by John Simkin (BA, MA, MPhil), creator of the Spartacus Educational website, there were 5,152,115 Allied casualties and 3,386,200 Central Powers casualties, totalling 8,538,315 killed and died of other causes.
