WW1 killed 40 million, with the Spanish Flu estimated to have killed 50 million.
In terms of WW1, Britain lost 744,000 men in combat, and in the subsequent Spanish Flu of 1918, around 150,000 died in Britain.
In terms of WW2, Britain had total deaths of 450,900.
So WW1 had a bigger impact on population numbers than Spanish Flu in countries such as Britain.
I am also quite sure the Spanish Flu had little impact on the 25 million Russians who perished or those who died as a result of the holocaust, and total WW2 deaths are estimated to be between 70–85 million people.
There have been far more historically devastating diseases such as the black death or plague, which wiped out over a third of the entire population of Europe between 1347 to 1351. and continued to cause devastation and mass deaths until the early 19th century.
Wars were still fought during these periods and by WW2 warfare was a lot more technologically advanced.

Get this orange goblin out of there. Enough already. I know the gun nuts want him around, and the Billionaires and Corporate Executive goons want more and more, but get someone COMPETENT and on planet earth next time to back at least. jeesh
Give it up guys. You're going to point out every time he does something like this in a speech? We already learned from his other speech about national parks that he is not familiar with the United States. He just doesn't know the country. This shouldn't surprise you at this point.
