The number of human casualties is very much alarming Take the case of the Second World War. It is considered to be the worst and the most deadly war ever fought in the history of the world.

People suffer mentally and physically after the war. As the war destroys everything, it takes time for the war affected people to recover from this shock. Let us take the case of the destruction suffered by Japan after the Second World War. Most of the lives were perished in the massive strength of the bomb explosions in Hiroshima and Nagasaki towns of Japan. It took years for the people to recover from that shock. Many dead more that got injured. The survived carried the wound-mental and physical- till the end. Many become homeless and add to the number of refugees. Commercial establishments and Industrial centres were either get burned or destroyed. People are prone to diseases like cancer or tumour. This is due to the radiation caused by the nuclear explosion.Such was the destructive power of the war. Parents lose their beloved children, young ones lose their parents. These are the usual characteristics of any war.
Wherever the wars are fought, or whichever country may take part in it, the end sufferers are human beings. The ultimate sufferers are human beings. The consequence of another war will be much more dangerous. More nuclear aided arms will be going to be tested in this. A total destruction will be the outcome.
