Dont forget Stalin.

I know two guys who would disagree with that. Their names are Little Boy and Fat Man.

Not touching this one.

In all fairness could anyone tell if the chinese batted an eye
CatgirlsandKneesocksV2
No. I got pissed off on both. Though the Koreans and Chinese hate the Japanese with a passion.

Genocide =/= War
ash274
Go ask China about that. They're still pretty pissed about it
Castaway242
Don't forget the russians... killing russians.
BaconAllDay
One was war combat. Another was genocide. And it was 6 million Jews, Gypsies, Gays, War Criminals. Both are bad.
DannyPhantom
11 million in total, 6 million jews.
ThatWeirdBarefootGuy
Both were genocide...
SherlockGhost
Uh... It was a genocide as well.

Pretty sure there was this thing called the "Pacific Theater" in the early 40's.

That wasn't because they killed all those people. We were going to isolate ourselves from the war until Japan attacked Pearl Harbor.
wassamattayu
true.. though we were doing a pretty good job of cutting off their rubber and oil supplies, forcing them into a confrontation :)
ash274
Oh the shit Japan did between 1933 and 1941... 1937, Nanking: So fucked up even the Nazis tried to get them to calm down

Hitler killed, in total, killed 17 million people. Mao Zedong killed 78 million. Yet Hitler is seen as the ultimate evil? Bet Mao's mad.
Nameless301
1) Because Mao brought the Chinese Kicking ans screaming into the 20th century. What he did was terrible, but many economists and historians
Nameless301
2) agree that China would not be as modern as it is today without his intervention.

Hitler killed 17 million in concentration camps. The total for the war is FAR higher.
chaoswolf1982
78 is FAR higher than 17.
Nobodyn0se
Somewhere between 22 and 30 million Russians were killed in WW2. Add those to Hitler's total and it's a LOT closer. Now go through and add
Nobodyn0se
Yes. But you're not comparing apples to apples.
chaoswolf1982
what apples? I'm comparing corpses to corpses.
Nobodyn0se
No, you're comparing a small subset of Hitler's corpses to ALL of Mao's corpses.
Nobodyn0se
all the millions of others that aren't included in that "17 million" number you used, and the numbers get closer still.
chaoswolf1982
But Mao is still higher.
Nobodyn0se
How do you know? Have you added them all up?
