Top 10 Countries Which Were Most Affected by World War II

Although, similar to the Germans, it somewhat deserved her destruction, I think we the Americans, definitely went too far with the bombs. Then again, in the following years, it had a giant baby and economic boom, ultimately becoming a world player, so it wasn't all bad.

Harry S Truman did the right thing which was to avenge the victims of Pearl Harbor as well as the other Asian countries. Let's not forget to mention the comfort women who were the most victimized people within the War in the Pacific. The Two Atomic bombs were justifiable on why Japan's military power needed to end.

Other than the Soviet Union, Poland burdened most of Hitler's war crimes, including mass extermination of both the Poles and Jews on a scale of millions, and mass bombing, terrible.

First victim of German and soviet aggression. 2.9 million ethnic Poles killed and 2.9 Jews killed. Major cities like Warsaw destroyed. Many villages burned down and after war turned into a puppet state of ussr losing huge lands in east although gaining many in west

Their army wasn't big...because most of them were dead and they had to get their country back... in poland thiers a statue with running people representing that poland was very confident to get their land...sadly after WW2 every country agreed that the countries that destroyed some building in other countries had to pay the country they destroyed so they can rebuild it, germany didn't pay poland even though it was the most destroyed country in THE WORLD.

They could never replace millions of dead young men. They will continue to stuff themselves with as many immigrants especially males as possible to replace their population. Those that think the German economy is strong right now do not understand the economic power Germany welded under the the 2nd and 3rd reich.
Failures to replace population and an economy that will always be dependent on exports, wielding almost 0 military power, and at the mercy of the major powers just as the rest of the world Germany is a shell of the empire it was.
Their armies defeated, nation divide, conquered, nation left in ruble, and people quite frankly internationally humiliated at the subject of it's eternal enemies what was once the most powerful nation in Europe was now Allied Occupied for as long as they saw fit.
Look at how heavily they were bombed, how many of there best men were killed in the Soviet Union among other places where they suffered horrible defeated.
There largest armies groups had all been eaten up in the grinder that was Russia combined with the many they were losing over in N. Africa, Italy, and later France to the Western Allies. Once all these various nations armies started to push into Germany they were not in a great mood and didn't treat the citizens well to put it lightly.
Japan was nuked and that is worse actually. Germany was absolutely ate up by multiple armies and bombed into the stone ago. The ammount of nations that were at war with Germany and sending troops, and/or materials and resources to aid in the fight against them is so insane.
So considering the pride of the Germans, the German government, economy, and especially the Wehrmacht and the overwhelming force used against them I vote for Germany,

Although they didn't face mass extermination like the Slavic nations, they did face their fair share of pain. For instance, Hitler's constant bombings and attacks led to economic disparity, caused the United Kingdom to head down on a down spiral, losing it's "Superpower" title in the process and never hoping to become a world power again.

Absolutely valiant; the British people, as well as their military, heroically
acquitted themselves in every way.
Peace, BG (for now, at least).

"The Blitz".A lot of people including innocent civilians had to die for nothing.

During WW2 France was the second country most bombed by the Allies after Germany. It took seven times the tonnage of Allied bombs that the UK took from Nazi Germany. Roughly 75,000 tonnes of bombs were dropped on the UK (including Hitler's V missiles). In France, it's in the order of 518,000 tonnes. It's also a sad statistic that more French civilians were killed by allied bombing( 76000) than British civilians killed by German bombing (50000).

Yes, they didn't get "NUKED" two times but massive amount of bombing and uses of firearm will easily tear apart their cities.

The Soviet Union was affected in probably the most in the entire war, and in the worst way possible, mass death. In fact, 20% of her population perished. But this didn't have to happen, Stalin had a lack of care for his soldier's lives, and thus he didn't do anything about it(other than throwing more in). But ultimately, Germans were the ones that invaded, and thus it makes sense that the Soviet's were so keen on revenge.

Most deaths out of any nation. Belarus lost 25% of its population and al of its cities were ruined. Violent massacres by germans along with terror bombings of its cities like minsk led to huge destruction and millions of deahs and also huge persecution of jews killed many. Ukraine lost almost 20% of its population. The country was completely destroyed and all of this was just 6 years after the holodomor genocide in ukraine which led to millions of deaths. Russia lost the most men and had many major cities destroyed. Other republics sacrificed many men on front for the ultimate victory.

They were also effected. but they pulled back quickly from WWII. and once I read that most of the Nazi soldiers supported them.

Though it probably wouldn't be first, many of the bloody battles were fought in the Philippines, notably the battle of Manila. Though not as many people were killed, most of the city was entirely leveled. Along with it years of Culture and many people's homes.

Many infrastructure were being built before the war, and nearly all was destroyed. Manila was a battlefield, thousands of soldiers and innocent people died resisting against the Japanese. Philippines was the last country to surrender in Southeast Asia.

ROtterdam completely destroyed during the bombing in 1940. Most of jewish population killed. Thousands died during famine in 1944

Millions and millions of people died and the country suffered so much post-war.

RIP the spice trade

80% of our jews died we got killed because of no food...

Millions and millions of people died and the country suffered so much post-war.

The nankin massacre resulted in tens of thousands of deaths. Major cities like Shanghai were completely destroyed. Millions of Chinese were killed by japanese and also a whole river flooded huge amount of terrain and killed thousands. Also japanese experiments on people, the famines and sicknesses made china hit very hard by the war

World war 2 is absolutely a tragedy for China! We all remember that bloody history, and never ever gonna forget it!

It was a massacre, China was not strong enough to fight back.

In my personal opinion, the United States was probably the only nation in which war had a positive affect. Coming from it's increased productivity, boosted morale, and general success, it had a demographic and economic golden age, becoming the most powerful country on Earth.

You mean except for all those white crosses and body bags? As to any real economic benefit, America didn't finish paying off its war debt (its "borrowing" from the Fed and paying off on war bonds) until the early 1980s. By the way, thanks to FDR's socialist policies, the depression in America lasted 8 years longer than the rest of the industrialized world.

I didn't really get the "Nuky" "Nuky" thing. But like I said technically they got something good from WWII (for them). And a visitor already said that.

They were affected by mass murder and hitler.

Hey I'm doing a historical fiction report on the point of view of a little girl in world war two, and I chose a Russian girl. So the more you could tell me, would help a lot.

Violent genocide perpetrated by croats against serbs jews and other victims. Thousands killed by germans italians and collaborators. Many villages destroyed in countryside

I don't know what some people are talking about. Neither did I add it nor I said anything about getting nuked.

Australia's contribution to WWII was very significant! A country with a small population provides so many to fight in europe, Africa and the Pacific campaign! If it wasn't for the large assistance from the USA Australia was left very vulnerable to invasion from Japan. It also has to be remembered that the Australian army inflicted the Japanese first land defeat during their push across Asia!

How are other countries like Colombia and Sri Lanka before Australia? They sent Hundreds of thousands of troops to perish in the African and European fronts. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Korea was a single country before WWII. But after WWII it became a part of Soviet Union and US. Which led to conflict between two parts.

How the heck is finland so low on this list? It's got invaded by the U.S.S.R. , starting The Winter War.
