History Atlas
Claims this atlas currently marks as unsettled or as tested and found false. A debated fact is one scholars hold competing positions on; a debunked one has been checked against the record and found not to hold. Both are kept in view rather than quietly smoothed over, with the reasoning that put each one where it stands.

French and allied forces' own killed, wounded or captured across the 1805-1806 campaign, per the aggregate casualty figures on record for this conflict. This is the SMALLER of two reasonable readings of the war's toll; see death-toll-max for the combined-both-sides figure.

Concerns Death Toll, High Estimate
Currently States 222050.000000
Combined killed, wounded or captured across BOTH sides (allied forces 160,000 plus French and allied forces 62,050), the larger of two reasonable readings; see death-toll-min for the French/allied-only figure. The two numbers answer different questions (one side vs. both) rather than representing a genuine high/low disagreement about the same quantity.

Aggregate order-of-magnitude estimate across all of Alexander's campaigns (336-323 BCE, Greece through Persia to India). Ancient battle-casualty figures (Arrian, Diodorus, Plutarch) are notoriously unreliable, often propagandistic in either direction, so this figure is treated as illustrative of scale rather than a precise count.

The lower end of commonly cited total death estimates, military and civilian combined. Estimates of military deaths alone generally run from nine to eleven million; adding an estimated six to thirteen million civilian deaths from military action, starvation, disease, exposure and massacre produces the wider fifteen to twenty two million range this entity carries. Some totals additionally fold in the 1918 to 1919 influenza pandemic, which overlapped with and was worsened by wartime conditions but is conventionally treated as a separate event.
