On January 28, 2023, during the Russo-Ukrainian War, the bodies of Russian soldiers were left lying around the trenches on the front line near Siversk, Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine.

 　On January 28, 2023, during the Russo-Ukrainian War, the bodies of Russian soldiers were left around the trenches on the front line near Siversk, Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine. The tragic corpses of Russian soldiers who had been thawed out on the front line began to emerge. In particular, the corpses of Russian prisoners who had not been trained by the Wagner mercenary group were left on the front line. As winter ended and the ground thawed, disturbing corpses were beginning to be revealed on the front line.

　　The Russian army, mainly represented by the Wagner PMC, has repeatedly occupied the Ukrainian fortress region of Bakhmut, which has been an important transport hub in Donbass since July 2022 and covers the route of attack to Kramatorsk, Slavyansk, Torez, and Siversk. The route to Siversk covers the routes to Kramatorsk, Slavyansk, Tretyak and Siversk. The town of Siversk, like other settlements in this direction, was within the range of Russian artillery fire. Agence France-Presse published a photograph of the bodies of Russian soldiers who had died around the trenches of the front line near Siversk, taken on January 28.

　　Russia has subjected the Ukrainian army to a barrage of hand-to-hand combat by hordes of prisoners of war and poorly trained conscripts in order to expose the defenders of Ukraine. The bodies were left by the Russian army like sacrifices. The Russian army, which was busy with combat, did not return most of the Russian soldiers in coffins to their homeland of Russia. The bodies of Russian soldiers were left lying around, piled up, cremated in mobile crematoriums and makeshift furnaces, hastily buried, or left to rot or freeze in the winter. The Russian army's losses began to approach 180,000 dead and wounded. The losses of the Ukrainian army were not as great as those of the Russian army, and estimates suggest that the Ukrainian army lost around 100,000 soldiers and 30,000 civilians.

During the Japanese military expedition to Siberia, in November 1919, the Hosono Detachment of the Japanese Army was attacked by the Polesheviki Red Army in the northern highlands of Siberia, and engaged in battle. The Polesheviki Red Army of Russia retreated, leaving the bodies of their comrades behind.

　During the Japanese military expedition to Siberia, in November 1919, the Hosono Detachment of the Japanese Army engaged in battle with the Polesheviki Red Army in the northern highlands of Siberia. The Polesheviki Red Army of Russia retreated, leaving the bodies of their comrades behind. The Japanese and the Polesheviki Red Army engaged in close combat at close range, with machine guns firing at a range of less than 100 meters and grenades exploding from the outset.

　　From September 1919, Japanese regiments engaged in combat with the Russian Polesheviki Red Army. In late September, the fierce Battle of Bakhtuyskaya broke out. When the Bolshevik Red Army was at a disadvantage, they would retreat into the forest and then suddenly attack the Japanese troops with their weapons. In the Battle of Bakhtuyskaya, three Japanese officers and about 46 non-commissioned officers were killed in action.

　　In October 1917, at the end of World War I, a revolution broke out in Russia, and the world's first socialist government was born. The Allied Powers were quick to intervene militarily. Japan sent a large military force to not only China, but also to Siberia and the Maritime Province. The Japanese military expedition to Siberia supported the White Russian Army, which was opposing the Bolshevik Red Army during the Russian Civil War, from January 12, 1918 to June 24, 1922. 1,399 Japanese soldiers died, and a further 1,717 died of disease. The Bolshevik Red Army suffered 2,887 deaths and 1,421 injuries. The Japanese Army, isolated in the frozen Siberian tundra, suffered a painful retreat from Russia.

During the siege of Port Arthur in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904, the bodies of Russian soldiers killed by the Japanese army were piled up on a hillside outside the city and were waiting to be buried in a common grave.

 During the Siege of Port Arthur in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904, the bodies of Russian soldiers who had been killed on the hillside outside Port Arthur were piled up and left to wait to be buried. The bodies of the Russian soldiers, who had been lined up and scattered across the ground in the suburbs of Port Arthur, waited to be buried in a common grave. In mid-August 1904, the Japanese Army launched a general offensive against the Port Arthur area. The Japanese offensive force numbered around 50,000, while the Russian garrison defending Port Arthur numbered around 40,000. Both sides suffered huge casualties, and many soldiers were killed in the intense bombardment and gunfire.

The Battle of Port Arthur, which began on August 19th 1904 and ended on January 1st 1905, marked the start of the Russo-Japanese War. Port Arthur was a deep-water port at the tip of the Liaodong Peninsula in Manchuria, and was the base of the Russian Navy. Lüshun Harbor was one of the most heavily fortified positions in the world at the time. It was the longest and most intense land battle of the Russo-Japanese War. During the siege of Lüshun, the Russian Army suffered 31,000 casualties, including 15,000 killed, wounded or missing.

During the siege of Port Arthur, the Russian Army suffered 31,306 casualties, of which at least 6,000 were killed. A lower figure of 15,000 dead, wounded or missing was also claimed. At the end of the siege, the Japanese Army also captured 878 Russian Army officers and 23,491 other ranks. In addition, the Russian fleet based in Port Arthur was lost, with all ships either sunk or interned. The Japanese army took 8,956 sailors prisoner. The Japanese army's casualties (dead, wounded, and missing) were officially announced as 57,780, with 14,000 of these being deaths. In addition, 33,769 people fell ill during the siege, of which 21,023 suffered from beriberi. The Japanese Navy lost 16 ships, including two battleships and four cruisers. The number of Japanese casualties was estimated to be higher, ranging from 94,000 to 110,000.

During the Battle of the Somme on the Western Front of World War I, the bodies of many German soldiers were scattered in the shell holes between Carnoy and Montauban, the southernmost point of the British 4th Army's assault front.

　　On the Western Front of World War I, during the Battle of the Somme, the British 4th Army's assault front caused many German soldiers to be scattered dead in the shell holes between the southernmost Carnoy and Montauban. On July 1st 1916, the first day of the Battle of the Somme, the British army's assault on Montauban broke out.When shells hit the trenches, more than ten soldiers were killed or wounded instantly. The bodies were left unburied, and even if they were buried, they were dug up again in later battles. The soldiers spent weeks at a time near the bodies. During the Battle of the Somme, the soldiers were repeatedly confronted with scenes of mass killing.

　The British army was equipped with a huge amount of artillery shells to destroy the German positions. They lined up heavy artillery and mortars at intervals of less than 60 meters over a distance of 24 kilometers, and also prepared field artillery to destroy the barbed wire. In battles at the time, infantry would advance after artillery bombardment to mop up the enemy. The width of the attacking front was made wider than before so that the advancing troops in the center of the breakthrough would not be fired on from the flanks. However, the British army did not have the artillery and shells that could overwhelm the enemy's defensive forces on the front of the attack. It was difficult to create gaps through which the infantry could pass by simply scattering the barbed wire with artillery shells. The gaps between the barbed wire were too narrow, and the British attack units themselves had to clear the barbed wire, which became a serious obstacle to their advance.

　　The British attack infantry units were required to advance as quickly as possible while repeatedly firing and moving. The troops would advance a short distance, then lie down on the ground or hide behind cover to fire their weapons and provide cover for other troops advancing behind them. During the Battle of the Somme, British troops advanced in single file, shoulder to shoulder, at a slow walking pace. The Germans, who had occupied the high ground across the entire front line, were in a favorable position and strengthened their defensive posture against the Allied offensive. When the shelling stopped, the Germans crawled out of the underground shelters they had dug to a depth of 9 meters, set up their machine guns in position and opened fire, and the British attack troops, who were advancing at a slow pace, were stuck in place.

　

During the Battle of Iwo Jima, the bodies of Japanese soldiers killed by American flamethrowers and bombs were scattered around an underground bunker. The bunker was later used as an American crematorium.

    At the Battle of Iwo Jima at the end of the Pacific War of World War II, the bodies of Japanese soldiers killed by American flame throwers and bombs in the underground caves were scattered around. The underground caves were later used as an American military crematorium. The underground caves were connected by a series of cave-like underground passageways. Most of the Japanese soldiers died in these tunnels.

   The bodies scattered around Iwo Jima were killed by the greatest fury. A large group of bodies were mutilated and cut into pieces. Many bodies were cut in half and scattered far away. In some areas, the stench of burning Japanese soldiers' bodies was very strong.

    In the Battle of Iwo Jima, the number of casualties among the attacking American forces exceeded that of the defending Japanese forces. Approximately 7,000 American soldiers were killed in action, and the number of wounded reached approximately 19,000. For details on the number of casualties and wounded in the Battle of Iwo Jima, please refer to “Iwo Jima Operation”. The number of American military personnel killed in action was 278 officers and 5,653 enlisted men in the Marine Corps. There were 881 officers and men killed in action in the Navy, and 9 officers and men killed in action in the Army. A total of 6,821 American soldiers were killed in action. The Japanese army suffered 12,850 army soldiers and 7,050 navy soldiers killed in action, for a total of approximately 19,900 killed in action.

    From February 19th to March 26th 1945, a bloody battle raged between the Japanese and American forces on the small Pacific island of Iwo Jima. 20,933 Japanese soldiers barricaded themselves in Iwo Jima in an attempt to defend it at all costs. The American forces that were to attack the island had 800 ships, 4000 aircraft and a total of 250,000 troops, and the landing operation began. The Japanese army had already lost Saipan eight months earlier on July 9th 1944, and on October 20th 1944, they landed on Leyte Island, and the organized resistance of the Japanese army had collapsed.

In April 1991, during a student demonstration in South Korea, a woman set herself on fire and threw herself from a railway bridge. Self-immolations by students and workers protesting the government occurred frequently throughout South Korea for about a month.

　　In April 1991, during a student demonstration in South Korea, a woman set herself on fire and threw herself from a railway bridge. Park Seung-hee, a female student at Chonnam National University, attended the 20,000 Alumni Resolution Convention held at Chonnam National University at around 2pm on April 29th, and threw herself from behind Yongbong Hall, the main building of Chonnam National University, at around 3pm. He was treated at Chonnam National University Hospital, and developed sepsis due to a bacterial infection caused by third-degree burns over his entire body. On May 17th 1991, he developed sepsis again, and died of illness on May 19th due to a high fever of over 40 degrees and multiple organ failure.

　　On April 26th 1991, in South Korea, Kang Kyung-dae, a university student who had participated in a demonstration against the government of Roh Tae-woo, who had become President of South Korea in 1987, was beaten to death by a police officer. This led to a series of student suicides by fire in protest, and seven students set themselves on fire. After that, there were frequent cases of students and workers setting themselves on fire in protest across the whole of Korea over the next month. The mourning for the dead became a violent demonstration, and the struggle for democracy developed into a situation involving the throwing of stones, Molotov cocktails and tear gas. In the midst of this, there were attempts at suicide in protest, and incidents of people being crushed to death in the midst of demonstrations, and the struggle became even more heated, with suicides being reproduced.

　　Even after the Gwangju Uprising, in which a pro-democracy demonstration by students and citizens was suppressed by the South Korean military on May 18th 1980, the South Korean military government continued to suppress student movements and other forms of protest. At Seoul University, Jeon Se-jin and Ki Jae-ho committed suicide by burning themselves to death on April 28th 1986. Chon Se-jin died on May 5th and Ki Jae-ho died on the 26th. Two students from Seoul University, Chon Se-jin and Ki Jae-ho, who were shouting anti-American slogans at a demonstration against war and nuclear weapons, committed suicide by burning themselves to death in protest. From there, a wave of extreme protest suicides began to unfold. On May 20th, a student named Ki Dong-soo committed suicide by setting himself on fire in the middle of a student rally. The next day, on May 21st, a female student who felt remorse for the situation committed suicide by drowning herself. The student movement of May 1986 was truly a time of death, injury and suffering. In the field of democratization movements from the 1980s onwards, there were frequent cases of self-immolation in protest against political injustice.

On September 12th 1948, Japanese soldiers and civilians watched as American military correspondents inspected the damage caused by the atomic bomb in Hiroshima City.

On May 14th 2024, the upper body of a Palestinian man was buried under rubble, and his body was turned upside down, with his lower body sticking out. This happened in Nuseirat, Gaza, after an Israeli air strike destroyed the building.

　　On May 14th 2024, in Nuseirat in the Gaza Strip, Palestinian rescue workers dug up the body of a man from the rubble of a building destroyed in an Israeli air strike. The upper half of the Palestinian man's body was buried in the rubble, and his body was inverted, with his lower half sticking out.

　　The UN has announced that more than half a million Palestinians have been displaced in recent days due to the intensification of Israel's military operations in Rafah and the north of Gaza. For a week from May 14th 2024, no food has come through the two main border crossings in southern Gaza. According to the UN, around 1.1 million Palestinians are facing catastrophic hunger. A “full-blown famine” is occurring, particularly in the north. The UN agency for Palestinian refugees announced on May 14 that around 450,000 Palestinians had been expelled from Rafah in southern Gaza over the past week. The Israeli army has been pouring into the city of Rafah, which is Hamas' last stronghold. In the northern Gaza Strip, at least 100,000 people have been evacuated so far under an Israeli evacuation order, Farhan Haq, a UN deputy spokesman, told reporters on May 13. The Israeli army is fighting Palestinian militants. According to health officials in the Gaza Strip, more than 35,000 people have been killed in the seven months of Israeli bombardment and ground attacks on Gaza, most of them women and children.

　　On May 14th 2024, Israeli citizens celebrated Independence Day by having barbecues in parks across the country, as they do every year. However, in 2024, the Independence Day celebrations were small and quiet due to the war in the Gaza Strip in Palestine. The Israel-Palestine War broke out on October 7th 2023, when Palestinian Hamas militants attacked southern Israel, killing around 1,200 people, mostly Israeli civilians, and abducting around 250. According to Israel, the militants are still holding around 100 hostages and more than 30 bodies.

In the winter of 1940, during a battle between the Communist Party of China's Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army in Beiyu District, Shanxi Province, China, Sha Fei, the first military photographer for the Communist Party of China, took a series of photographs of Eighth Route Army soldiers collapsing after being hit by bullets.

 

　　In the winter of 1940, during a battle between the Chinese Communist Party's Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army in Beiyu District, Shanxi Province, China, Sha Fei, the first military photographer for the Chinese Communist Party, took a series of photographs of Eighth Route Army soldiers collapsing after being hit by bullets. A Chinese Communist Party Eighth Route Army soldier collapses with his knees bent after being hit by a Japanese bullet.

　The Eighth Route Army, which had been fighting in the mountainous regions in limited guerrilla warfare, launched a major offensive against the Japanese Army in the Hundred Regiments Offensive, which took place in Hebei and Shanxi provinces from August to December 1940. The Eighth Route Army was short of heavy weapons, and the use of human-wave tactics resulted in around 20,000 casualties. The Japanese army countered with a sweeping campaign, and from mid-October to the end of November, they stepped up their counterattack against the Eighth Route Army. During this battle, Sha Fei captured the moment of Robert Capa's “Falling Soldier”, and was called the “Chinese Robert Capa”.

　Sha Fei, the first war photographer for the Chinese Communist Party, photographed anti-Japanese activities in the Jin-Chahar-Ji military district and the border region of China. He presented his photographs to the Chinese Communist Party in accordance with the guidance of the Chinese Communist Party. In 1926, he participated in the Northern Expedition as a communications soldier. In September 1936, at the age of 24, Sha Fei entered the Shanghai Art School and photographed port workers and the life of the working class in Shanghai. In September 1937, Sha Fei became a photographer for the National Communications Agency and covered the Eighth Route Army, becoming a member of the army. Sha Fei saw photography as a powerful weapon for exposing reality, and he always used it to depict the various realities of society.

　　In December 1937, Sha Fei was given permission by General Nie Rongzhen to join the Eighth Route Army, and was appointed as the first chief editor of the editorial department of the Political Department of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region. He also served as deputy director of the Anti-Japanese News, and in 1941 he established the Jin-Cha-Ji Pictorial Press, which published the first pictorial magazine of the Chinese Communist Party, the Jin-Cha-Ji Pictorial, on July 7th 1942. In June 1947, Sha Fei submitted an application to join the Communist Party, and on November 22 he became a member. In December 1948, he was hospitalized at the Shijiazhuang Peace Hospital with pulmonary tuberculosis, and on December 15, 1949, Sha Fei shot and killed his doctor, the Japanese doctor Katsutoshi Tsuhei. In On February 24th 1950, the Political Department of the North China Military Region's Military Court sentenced Sha Fei to death and at the same time he was expelled from the Chinese Communist Party. On March 4th, Sha Fei was executed by firing squad. In 1986, he was reinstated as a member of the Communist Party.

　 

The Japanese soldiers desperately tried to stop the advancing American troops on the beach road on Peleliu Island, and counterattacked with field artillery and 77mm field guns. The Japanese soldiers were killed and fell by the American troops. The bodies of the field artillerymen were scattered around the collapsed 77mm field gun.

　　The Japanese soldiers desperately tried to stop the advancing American troops on the beach road on Peleliu Island, and counterattacked with field artillery and 77mm field guns. The Japanese soldiers were killed and fell by the American troops. The bodies of the field artillerymen were scattered around the collapsed 77mm field guns.The killing each other between friend and foe resumed. The American army, despite suffering many casualties, had succeeded in landing about one regiment at the southwest end of the airfield in this second forced landing. By the evening, they had further expanded their position and advanced to the southeast end of the airfield with tanks. The Japanese army's resistance was fierce.

　　From the night of the 16th to the 17th, the second day of the landing on Peleliu Island, the American forces had almost taken control of the southern part of the island, including the airfield. The losses on both sides were heavy, and the flow of casualties did not stop. After the Americans had established a beachhead, the Japanese army's losses began to rise sharply. Judging that the situation was unfavorable, at 4:30pm on September 16th the Japanese army was ordered to carry out the “First Counterattack Plan”. A suicide squad was formed from the First Battalion, which was on standby as a unit directly under the Second Regiment headquarters. The counterattack began with the second battalion's reserve unit, which had been engaged in fierce fighting since the morning in the coastal positions, and the division tank corps, the only mechanized unit of the Japanese soldiers defending Peleliu.

　　The ground battle was rough, and the US forces suffered many casualties in their attack on the Umbrugol Ridge. Despite the difficult situation and the high rate of attrition among the Marines, they were reluctant to accept reinforcements from the US forces. Part of the 81st Infantry Division, which was also assigned to Stalemate II, was deployed in the landing operation on the neighboring island of Angar on September 17. The tactical advantage on Peleliu had waned. The Japanese forces in the northern part of Peleliu, which received sporadic reinforcements from northern Palau, were gradually reduced and casualties increased as the line of defense in the Umurbrogol massif was surrounded by the Marines.

　　In the Battle of Peleliu, the number of American casualties rose to 1,544 dead and 6,843 wounded. The 7th Marine Regiment suffered 46% of the casualties, compared to the 749 casualties suffered by the 7th Infantry Regiment. By today's standards of combat effectiveness, it would be considered “unfit for combat”. Although nearly 11,000 Japanese soldiers were killed in action, only 301 of the Japanese troops on Peleliu Island were taken prisoner.

On April 25th 1980, during the Iran hostage crisis, an American helicopter crashed into a transport plane and caught fire. Eight American soldiers and one Iranian civilian were killed.

　On April 25th 1980, during the Iran hostage crisis, an American military helicopter crashed and caught fire after colliding with a transport plane. As a result, the fire destroyed both aircraft, killing eight American soldiers and one Iranian civilian. The bodies of those who died in the fire were scattered around the wreckage of the two aircraft.

　The American military operation to free the hostages at the American embassy on April 25th 1980 was a complete failure. A commando unit of the American military departed from an aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf in eight helicopters. They were scheduled to meet up with a transport plane at a predetermined point in the Iranian desert. Two of the helicopters had already encountered technical problems on the way, forcing the operation to be suspended. After the rescue operation was suspended and refueled, the helicopter crashed and caught fire at around 2:40 p.m. after colliding with the transport plane.

　As a result, the fire destroyed both aircraft, killing eight American soldiers and one Iranian civilian. Five of the 14 American Air Force crew members on board the EC-130 and three of the five American Marine Corps crew members on board the RH-53D and three of the five US Marine Corps crew members on board the RH-53D were killed. The EC-130 was a single-engine light utility helicopter, while the RH-530 was a heavy transport helicopter family. Furthermore, as soon as the rescue operation was known to Iran, the hostages at the US embassy were dispersed to secret locations in Iran.

　The Iran Hostage Crisis began on November 4th 1979, when around 3,000 militant Iranian students stormed the American Embassy in Tehran and took nearly 60 American diplomats hostage. On September 22, 1980, Iraq invaded Iran, and the Iran-Iraq War broke out. In the US presidential election on November 4, 1980, President Jimmy Carter suffered a landslide defeat. The American embassy hostages were freed on January 20th 1981, just a few minutes after Ronald Reagan was inaugurated as President of the United States. They had been held hostage for approximately 444 days.

 

In June 1941, the Germans executed the Greeks who had resisted in the Battle of Crete by shooting them. The death penalty prisoners were killed instantly by a single shot. The Cretan civilians who had weapons threw themselves into the battle. Many Greek civilians were shot dead under martial law.

  In June 1941, the Germans executed the Greeks who had resisted in the Battle of Crete by shooting them. The death penalty was carried out with a single shot, and the condemned died instantly. Cretan civilians who wanted to take up arms threw themselves into the battle. Many Greek civilians were shot dead under martial law. When Crete was occupied by the Germans, the reprisals for resistance were merciless. From June 1st to June 6th 1941, when Crete was first occupied by the Germans, 200 people were executed.

   The Battle of Crete resulted in 426 Greek military deaths, 1,742 British military deaths, 1,737 military injuries, 11,835 prisoners of war, 1,990 German military deaths, and 1,995 German military personnel unaccounted for. In particular, the losses of the elite German airborne troops exceeded 8,000.

The atrocities committed by the German army in the village of Kalatza in the Argolis region of Greece broke out in June 1944. On June 4th 1944, the German occupation forces, enraged by the Troizenians who were resisting by raising their heads, rounded up all the men of Kalatza and locked them up in a warehouse. The following day, on June 5th, the Germans selected 23 men between the ages of 18 and 55 and took them to a dried-up river near the Trachian-Kranidi road in the Nihori settlement, where they were executed. On the main road of Nihoritika, the Kranidi Road, there was torture and murder of 18-year-old Vassilis Bouras, who was hanged for three days. The German military executions were carried out as a form of retaliation for the actions of ELAS in the area.

  In Greece, resistance against the German occupation forces broke out between 1941 and 1944. Initially, all of the Greek resistance groups started out with the same goal, but they gradually became divided due to the intervention of foreign powers seeking to gain influence. This led to the differentiation of the Greek national resistance organizations, such as the EAM, ELAS, WEAPONS, as well as the EDES and the Greek Army.

On May 25th 2024, two Russian guided bombs hit the center of a shopping center in Kharkiv, Ukraine's second largest city, and a police officer registered the bodies in the parking lot after performing an autopsy.

    On May 25th 2024, two Russian guided bombs hit the center of a shopping center in Kharkov, the second largest city in Ukraine, and a police officer registered the bodies in the car park after performing an autopsy. A woman stood by the bodies, stunned and grief-stricken. The police officer then took care of transporting the bodies.

   On May 25th 2024, the Russian army dropped two gliding bombs on the city of Kharkiv, Ukraine's second largest city, hitting the Epitsentr hypermarket at the busiest time of day. According to Ukrainian authorities, there may have been around 200 people in the building when the bombs hit. Immediately after the impact, a fire broke out in the shopping center, and the entire shopping center was engulfed in flames. This Russian bombing has been confirmed to have killed 19 people and injured 54 more. The mayor of Kharkiv, Ihor Terekhov, called the second Russian bombing of the city center pure terrorism.

   The first shock wave shattered the aisles, where the merchandise from the home improvement store was piled up almost to the ceiling. The next Russian bomb fell like a comet a few seconds later, unleashing a blaze that reduced the megastore to ashes. Immediately after this attack, the Russian army attacked Kharkiv again, this time targeting a residential area in the center of the city, injuring 14 people. The third bomb landed behind the Epi-Center, a shopping complex in Kharkiv, but failed to detonate. Russia fired more than 3,000 bombs every month, with 3,200 used in May alone.

The Russian army used hacked bombs and an expanded air base network to make Ukraine's frontline towns disappear faster. The Russian military constructed airstrips less than 100km from Ukraine and routinely fired bombs at Ukraine from multiple bases within Russian territory. There are 51 bases used by the Russian military within 600km of Ukrainian territory, including 3 in the occupied eastern regions of Ukraine, 6 in the Crimea, and 32 in Russia.

Women and girls of all ages from the village of Nemmersdorf were raped, mutilated and killed by the Soviet Red Army in East Prussia, and the German army lined up the corpses, conducted autopsies and recorded the scene.

   On the Eastern Front of World War II, women and girls of all ages from the village of Nemanesdorf were raped, mutilated and murdered by the Soviet Red Army as they invaded East Prussia. The Nazi German army lined up the corpses of the murdered residents and conducted an autopsy to record the war crimes of the Soviet Red Army. The Nemmersdorf massacre was a mass murder of civilians that broke out on October 21, 1944.

   During the first invasion of East Prussia, the Soviet Red Army committed a war crime in the village of Nemanndorf, located north of Goldap. The Soviet Red Army soldiers who occupied the village of Nemanndorf found many residents, especially women and children, on October 21, 1944. Twenty-four hours later, the village of Nemmersdorf was retaken by German troops.

   According to reports from German soldiers, the village of Nemmersdorf was strewn with corpses. Four naked women were nailed to a ladder truck standing on the left side of the farm road. In the apartment block, a total of 72 women, children and one 74-year-old man were murdered. Several people were killed by shots to the back of the skull, and the skulls of infants were smashed to pieces. The bodies of almost all the women, as well as those of girls aged between 8 and 12, showed signs of rape.

   Joseph Goebbels, Minister of Propaganda for the Nazi German regime, arrived at the crime scene in Nemmersdorf and took photographs and made a film. On November 2, 1944, the German weekly newsreel depicted the war crimes in the village of Nemmersdorf in East Prussia. It was not just Goebbels' propaganda, but a terrible reality.It sounded like very suggestive propaganda, and it brainwashed the German people to inspire fear and hatred of the Soviet Red Army and to carry out even more fanatical resistance.

   The Nemmersdorf massacre stirred up the imagination of millions of German women with fear and hatred of the Soviet Red Army, and they fell into a kind of killing frenzy. From the winter to the spring of 1945, thousands of German women committed suicide in response to the word that the Soviet Red Army was invading, and many of them killed their own children before they died.

The bodies of Vietnamese people who starved to death were piled up in heaps and transported away by car for disposal. From the winter of 1944 to 1945, the Japanese army occupied Vietnam and a shortage of rice spread throughout the country.

　　The bodies of Vietnamese people who starved to death were piled up in heaps and transported away by car for disposal. From the winter of 1944 to 1945, starvation spread throughout Vietnam, which had been occupied by the Japanese army, and became increasingly severe, with a shortage of rice spreading from the countryside to urban areas and even to the capital, Hanoi. In many areas, entire families, entire neighborhoods, or almost entire villages died. In order to avoid being discovered by the Japanese soldiers, Vu Anh Ninh secretly took photographs of the starving Vietnamese.

　　The greatest disaster caused by the Japanese military's five-year rule of Vietnam was the food crisis. The French colonial rule, which lasted for more than half a century, and the five-year Japanese military occupation had made Vietnamese production and living conditions miserable. In particular, the Japanese occupation policy, which positioned Vietnam as a base for supplying food and other goods, deprived the Vietnamese of the rice they had produced, and forced them to grow jute (a type of hemp used to make bags and rope) instead of food crops such as corn, causing them to suffer from a shortage of food.

　　The winters in the northern part of Vietnam between 1994 and 1945 were particularly cold, and this added a double whammy to the people who were already suffering from food shortages. As a result, there were huge numbers of people who died of starvation. One theory suggests that the number of people who died of starvation was as high as 2 million. Despite this, the Japanese army's warehouses were piled high with rice.

In Vietnam, in particular, the cold winter arrived next to the hungry, and the temperature dropped to 4 degrees in the capital Hanoi on the Lunar New Year of the year of Atdau (February 13, 1945). There were old women crying and screaming, naked children lying on mats huddled in the corners of walls, fathers and children lying naked on the roadside, and twisted corpses scattered everywhere. The number of victims was 2 million out of Vietnam's population of less than 10 million. In the mountainous regions of northern Vietnam, the army and the people rose up against the occupation of the area by attacking the bases, but they destroyed the warehouses of grain and salt that had been distributed to the people and stored for the soldiers and guerrillas. From March to July 1945, the Vietminh instigated the destruction of rice warehouses. People were encouraged to destroy their granaries themselves, incited not to pay taxes, and asked to demand the distribution of rice.

In the midst of the red terror of the government of Béla Kun, the leader of the Hungarian Revolution, hundreds of suspected counter-revolutionaries were executed in May 1919, and Lenin's son posed with their corpses.

 　Hundreds of people accused of “counterrevolution” were executed by the death penalty in May 1919 during the “Red Terror” of the Kun regime led by Béla Kun, the leader of the Hungarian Revolution. 1919 , the bodies of victims of the Red Terror and the revolutionary terrorist group Lenin's Boys were posed. In the spring of 1919, the Kun regime was overthrown by an invasion by the Romanian army and was short-lived.

　　In November 1918, with the support of the Soviet Union, Kun established the Communist Party of Hungary. He launched a campaign against the government of Mihály Károly. In March 1919, after being released, Kun successfully staged a coup and declared the establishment of the Communist Hungarian Soviet Republic. The new government collapsed four months later in the face of the advance of Romanian troops. After the fall of the Kun regime, counterrevolutionary forces carried out reprisals in the form of similar massacres. In the Great Purge of the late 1930s, Stalin had Kun executed by court order.

　　The Hungarian Red Terror was a period of repressive violence and suppression carried out by the Hungarian Communist Party in the Hungarian Soviet Republic, which existed from March 21 to August 1, 1919. The main anti-communist forces massacred people they considered to be enemies of the state. The Hungarian Soviet Republic established a revolutionary terror group, including Lenin's children, in accordance with the Bolshevik method of the Soviet Union. Up to 590 people were killed in the Red Terror.

In the aftermath of World War I, the Austro-Hungarian monarchy collapsed as Germany was defeated on the Western Front in 1918. On November 16, 1918, shortly after the abdication of Charles I of Austria-Hungary , immediately after the abdication of Charles I of Austria-Hungary, proclaimed the Hungarian Democratic Republic, with himself as its provisional president, and was inaugurated as president on January 11, 1919. On March 21, 1919, Károly was arrested by the new government of the Hungarian Soviet Republic, a communist party.

On the Eastern Front of World War II, in November 1942, the German army executed Yugoslav patriots by hanging. In retaliation for the first partisan resistance, the German army carried out a massacre in the fall of 1941.

    On the Eastern Front of World War II, in November 1942, the German army executed Yugoslav patriots by hanging. The German invasion led to the collapse of Yugoslavia due to internal divisions. From 1941 to 1945, the occupying forces were torn apart by a civil war between the Yugoslav communists, Croatian fascists, Serbian royalists and the German occupation forces. At least one million people died.

   In the spring of 1941, the Wehrmacht occupied Yugoslavia, and the multi-ethnic state collapsed. After that, nationalist groups became the first partisan units in World War II. The partisans, a lightly armed militia, retreated to the mountainous regions and fought against the occupying German forces. In retaliation for the first partisan resistance actions, the Germans carried out a mass extermination in the autumn of 1941. The partisans refrained from large-scale resistance. The number of civilian victims increased considerably in the months that followed, due to the gang-hunting by the German SS in 1943. The comprehensive armed uprising of the partisans was declared after the occupying German forces had become exhausted and the general situation of the war had turned against them.

  The Axis powers' occupying forces - the German, Italian, Hungarian and Bulgarian armies - committed atrocities against the Yugoslav population. In retaliation for partisan attacks and resistance, they massacred large numbers of civilians and hostages. The most famous incident was the Kragujevac massacre by the German army, and the Waffen-SS unit of the Albanians killed more than 400 Orthodox Christians in Andrijevica. The Hungarian army's Novi Sad massacre killed between 3,000 and 4,000 civilians in the southern region of Bačka. In the Podum massacre by the Italian army, on July 12th 1942, the Italian occupying forces killed 91 Croatian civilians in the village of Podum in retaliation for a partisan attack.

    The partisan revenge was covered up, and many people who did not actively participate in the partisan movement and prisoners of war were arbitrarily punished, detained, interned, exiled, killed, and oppressed by being considered collaborators with the German army. The massacre of Yugoslavian fascist fighters in Bleiburg, and the massacre of the Gottscheer and Danube-Swabian ethnic minorities. Yugoslav partisans carried out the Foibe massacre against the Italian population in the autumn of 1943 and the spring of 1945. Even after the war, the area where the massacre took place was kept off-limits to the general public as a restricted military area.

On April 13th 1950, just before the Korean War, Ri Ho-je, the leader of the Korean People's Guerrilla Army in North Korea, was killed in battle with a counterattack force from the South Korean military police, and his head was severed from his body.

　　On April 13th 1950, just before the Korean War, Ri Ho-je, the leader of the Korean People's Guerrilla Army in North Korea, was killed in battle with a police unit of the South Korean military. At that time, the head was decapitated from Yi Ho-je's corpse. In August 1949, Yi Ho-je's Korean People's Guerrilla Army incorporated a small-scale guerrilla unit in Odaesan, near the 38th parallel, and the guerrilla army became a force of about 400 men, invading Bonghyeonsan to the north of Gyeongju. Suppression by the ROK military police force. By around December 1949, Yi Ho-ji's Korean People's Guerrilla Army had collapsed.

　　In December 1945, at the beginning of the period of American military rule over the Korean Peninsula, Yi Ho-ji led the Cheongun as the chairman of the General Federation of Korean Youth Organizations in North Korea. Soon after that, he became active as a leader of the left-wing youth movement as the chairman of the Democratic Youth League of South Korea, the predecessor of the Socialist Youth League of North Korea. As left-wing activities became illegal in South Korea, he defected to North Korea and became the director of the Kangdong Political Academy, an agency for training agents.

　　The Kangdong Political Academy was an agency for training the Korean People's Guerrilla Army, which were North Korean agents, and became the military base of the South Korean Workers' Party. Lee Ho-ji participated in the Jeju April 3rd Incident, which broke out on April 3rd, 1948. In the Yeosu-Suncheon Incident, which broke out on October 19th 1948, the military rebelled and civilians were killed. In June 1949, Lee Ho-je led 360 or so guerrilla fighters trained at the Kangdong Political Academy, following orders from the Democratic Front for the Unification of the Fatherland in North Korea, and moved south along the Taebaek Mountains. They took in some of the military rebels from Yeosu and set up a base in the Odaesan area, close to the 38th parallel.

　　On October 30th 2024, Lebanese rescue workers carried the body of a boy who had been buried under the rubble of a building destroyed by an Israeli air strike in the southern Lebanese town of Sarafan. At least 19 people were killed in the Israeli air strike on the southern Lebanese town of Sarafan, the majority of them women and children.The town of Sarafan, located between Sidon and Tyre in southern Lebanon, was hit by an Israeli air strike. The Israeli military announced that it had targeted facilities associated with Hezbollah, a Lebanese armed group.

　　According to estimates by the Lebanese government, the war with Israel forced around 1.2 million Lebanese citizens to flee their homes. According to the Lebanese Ministry of Health, more than 2,800 Lebanese citizens were killed and 12,900 were injured after October 8, 2023, when Hezbollah began firing rockets at Israel and retaliatory attacks began. Israeli ground forces invaded southern Lebanon in the early hours of October 1, 2024.

In November 1917, Canadian soldiers carried trench mats to the front line at the Battle of Passchendaele on the Western Front of World War I. In the background, Canadian soldiers were deporting German soldiers who had been taken prisoner and transporting the wounded to field hospitals.

  In November 1917, Canadian soldiers carried trench mats (wooden walkways and bridges) to the front line at the Battle of Passchendaele on the Western Front of World War I. The reason for this was that Canadian soldiers were deporting German soldiers who had been taken prisoner and transporting the wounded to field hospitals. The Canadian soldiers moved the trench mats so that their feet would not get stuck in the mud. The mild weather in the area around Ypres in the western part of Belgium came to an end, and the terrain became impassable due to the continuous rain. The terrain became large puddles of mud, and thousands of corpses floated in them, but the offensive was not called off.

   At the Battle of Passchendaele, the British, Australian, New Zealand and Canadian armies dealt the German army its greatest blow. The French army suffered a major defeat in the Battle of the Chemin des Dames, and an uprising broke out within the army. It began on July 31st 1917 and ended on December 1st with the fall of the village of Panzhendl. The total number of casualties from the Battle of Passchendaele was estimated at 340,000 for the British and 250,000 for the Germans. Despite the overwhelming number of casualties, the front line itself only advanced 8km to the north and 2km to the south, and the battle became a futile conflict.

   The Battle of Passchendaele was a tragic month in August 1917, with 75,000 Allied and 50,000 German troops killed. On September 22, the Allied and German lost around 20,000 men on the eastern ridge of Ypres. On September 26, around 17,000 men were lost in the Forest of the Polygon. On October 4, around 26,000 men were lost at Broodzande. 9, the Australian army lost around 13,000 men at Tainkote. On October 12, the German army lost around 13,000 men to machine gun fire from the Allied forces, who were ordered to attack in bad weather.With rain falling day after day, they were knee-deep in mud, attacked from both sides in a hopeless situation, and exhausted, resulting in many casualties.

　

Between 1921 and 1922, due to a famine in southern Russia, men dragged the bodies of two family members who had starved to death and carried them for burial or cremation. The survivors buried the dead, but sometimes they were forced to eat them.

    Between 1921 and 1922, due to a famine in southern Russia, men dragged the bodies of two family members who had starved to death and carried them for burial or cremation. The survivors buried the dead, but sometimes they were forced to eat them. The famine and epidemics in southern Russia, caused by the chaos of the Russian Civil War, resulted in the deaths of millions of people from starvation between 1921 and 1922. This famine was the first major man-made disaster caused by the Lenin-Stalin regime. After that, millions of people were killed and lost their lives due to the collectivization and famine from 1929 to 1933, and the Great Purge from 1936 to 1939. This was the greatest series of tragedies caused by state policy in the history of any country in the 20th century.

   The Russian Famine of 1921-1922 was a severe famine in Russia that began in the early spring of 1921 and continued until 1922. An estimated 5 million people died during this famine, and the Volga and Ural River regions were the worst affected. Cannibalism, in which starving people ate the flesh and organs of other people, occurred. In addition, infectious diseases such as cholera and typhus were the cause of death due to the famine. During the Russian Civil War from 1918 to 1921, food was taken from growers and given to the military and supporters.

As with other major famines, there is a wide range of estimates. Soviet official publications in the early 1920s concluded that about 5 million people died in 1921 from famine and related diseases. The figure is cited in textbooks. It has been suggested that tens of millions of people died in the 20th century from war, famine, and terror.

In the 20th century, tens of millions of people died from war, famine, and terrorism. Severe drought and crop failure, continuous warfare since 1914, the Soviet authorities' forced collectivization of farms, requisitioning of grain and seeds from farmers, and the Allied economic blockade of the Soviet Union were all factors that contributed to the famine.
