Question

the end of the great war (part ii)
the war - referred to at the time as the great war - left much european territory in ruin. at least ten million soldiers and sailors were killed in the fighting and another twenty million were wounded. germany lost 1.8 million men and russia lost 1.7 million. france and austria - hungary each lost between 1.2 and 1.3 million soldiers. britain lost nearly one million, italy about half a million, and turkey 325,000. (by comparison, the u.s. lost 115,000.) the european powers suffered more casualties during four years of fighting between 1914 and 1918, than they had lost in all the european conflicts since a.d. 1100. it was a costly war, not just in human lives, but economically as well. the direct cost of the war was $180 billion (in pre - 1945 dollars), plus property damage of another $150 billion.
the peace negotiations following the war were centered in the versailles palace outside paris. the conference was led by the four leaders of england (david lloyd george), france (georges clemenceau), italy (vittorio orlando), and the united states (woodrow wilson). wilson presented a plan at the conference known as the fourteen points. it called for an end to secret treaties, freedom of the seas, arms reductions, freedom for the balkan states and poland, and creation of an international organization called the league of nations. the league’s purpose was to provide a forum for nations to solve their future problems without going to war. the versailles treaty was ratified by germany by july 1919 and by britain, france, italy, and japan by october.

1.

From the text: "At least ten million soldiers and sailors were killed in the fighting and another twenty million were wounded." So we add the number of killed and wounded.

The text says: "(By comparison, the U.S. lost 115,000.)"

The relevant sentence is: "The peace negotiations following the war were centered in the Versailles Palace outside Paris."

Answer:

At least ten million were killed and another twenty million were wounded, so in total at least 30 million soldiers and sailors were killed and wounded.
