I hate charts where they use the absolute numbers for coloring. Obviously bigger countries will have more people and thus had more casualties. If you calculate the percentage already, use that number for coloring.
Anyone know what happened in Ottoman Empire to lose that many people?
Looking at the wikipedia it seems they didn’t suffer many military casualties but suffered a lot from civilian deaths by military action at 1.5 million, probably mostly the Armenian genocide which estimates put at about 1 million. Also another 1 million from increase in civilian deaths which is harder to determine, maybe the empire was reliant on food imports pre-war that went away once the allies took control of the Mediterranean and blockaded them.
