Introduction
During World War II, the United States experienced significant casualties, with each state contributing to the war effort and sacrificing lives for the cause. Some states had higher numbers of casualties compared to others, reflecting their population size and level of involvement in the conflict.
New York and Pennsylvania were among the states with the highest number of WWII casualties, with 31,215 and 26,554 respectively. These states, with their large populations and industrial centers, sent a substantial number of soldiers to fight in the war, resulting in higher casualty figures. On the other hand, Alaska and Nevada had the lowest number of WWII casualties, with 91 and 349 respectively. These states had smaller populations and were geographically distant from the main theaters of war, resulting in fewer residents being directly involved in combat.
