Germany took part in 27 of 44, including all of the top 20.  Lost about 7.5 million soldiers in both World Wars.   

It's really unnecessary to quote the picture again.

Sorry.

Enough! It's not funny!

Most of the mainland SE Asia ones.

PBS is showing their Ken Burns Civil War series again.

Damn when did it start?

The 3rd or something.  They're airing repeats at 3am (central) starting Thursday (as in ~4 hours from now).  Fire up the DVR.  I think the ones (repeats) my wife is watching off the DVR were recorded @ 1230am or some such.

Netflix has it if you miss it.  Got it queued up for burning.  Only have it on old video tapes atm, which needs to be fixed.

Edit:  Nice.  Eva Longoria got all whored up for Letterman. I can dig it.

I see now. There's Mukden from the Russo-Japanese war in '05, Xuzhou from the Chinese Civil War in '27, Taierzhuang from the 2nd Chinese-Japanese war in '38, Chosin from the Korean War in '50, Tet from the Vietnam War in '68 and Basra from the Iran-Iraq war in '86.

The only one in European soil not from WWI or WWII is the Battle of the Ebro from the SCW in '38.

Just seen breaking news on TV, another tsunami for Japan.

My computer is kaput again.  It wants a system disk.  I think my mobo is the real culprit, though, I really think that something in the disk interface is fucked in it.

The map is misleading. It's using the radius of the circle to show the casualties, when it would make more sense to use the area. Compare Stalingrad and North Caucasus. There are only three times as many deaths, but it's a vastly bigger circle.
