The Berlin Wall (German: Berliner Mauer), initially constructed in 1961 and dismantled in the weeks following November 9, 1989, was the most prominent part of the GDR border system and was an iconic symbol of the Cold War.

Alot, mostly from dehydration or a heart attack or stroke. I don't think hospitals have released official numbers but its not uncommon where I live to hear of someone dying from it.

BEIJING June 4, 1989 — It was early Summer in the capital city. Tens of thousands of ordinary citizens, many with their entire families, squatted on vacant public buildings and land and set up a makeshift village, at the foot of the seat of power, and in the shadow of important monuments.\n\nThey demanded an audience with their government and the passage of certain legislation.  To the heads of government and the press, they were agitators with a political agenda that threatened to disrupt and endanger the nation.\n\nAfter their demands were rejected, the protesters did not leave their encampments.  The head of government, refusing to meet with them, called on the national army to disperse the crowds.  Soldiers charged with bayonets while tanks and tear gas chased crowds and leveled tents and shacks.  Fires burned the camps to the ground.\n\nIn the aftermath, scores were dead, including at least two infants suffocated in the gas attack.  The total number killed remains unknown. \n\nTiananmen Square has been the site of demonstrations peaceful and violent for at least 150 years. Protests in Tiananmen in the early 1900s led to the fall of the last Imperial Dynasty (Ching or Qing). \n \nThe square was also where Mao Zedong proclaimed to the world that "The Chinese people have stood up" and announced the formation of the People's Republic on October 1, 1949. \n\nTiananmen Square is the largest public square on earth. It can be seen from space and is nearly a mile square in size. \n \nSince 1989 it has become a magnet for China's disaffected who gather there, alone or in small groups, to protest and even commit suicide. \n \nThe square is surrounded by buildings and compounds that house the most important offices of China's government \n\nThe Tiananmen Square in the center of Beijing, is said to be the biggest square in the world. It is 880 meters from north to south, and 500 meters from east to west, with total area of 440,000 square meters and can hold one million people. The Tiananmen Gate Tower sites at the north, the Five-Star Red Flag flies high on the square, the Monument to the People's Heroes dominates the center, the Great Hall of the People and the Museum of the Chinese Revolution and the Museum of Chinese History to the east and west of it, as well as The Chairman Mao Memorial Hall and the Qianmen gate, sit in the south of the square. Over several hundred years, in front of the Tiananmen, many democracy meetings and demonstrations are held. Tens of thousands of people visit daily. The Square is listed top among Beijing's 16 scenic spots.\n \n \nThe Lions Before Tiananmen-- Facing Out\nAs the first gate of the Imperial City, the Tiananmen Gate was designed very grand and magnificent as befitted the supremacy of the emperor. Old Beijingers have deep feeling towards Tiananmen and there are quite a lot XIEHOUYU-- a kind of two-part allegorical sayings. THE LIONS BEFORE TIANANMEN-- SET FACING OUT uses the two huge stone lions standing at the end of the Jinshui (Golden Water) Bridge in front of Tiananmen Gate to describe two well-matched forces.\n\nHUABIAO and WANGJUNGUI and WANGJUNCHU\n\nA well-known architectural ornament in China is the huabiao, often seen on the grounds of palaces, imperial gardens and mausoleums. It is also seen at some crossroads to mark the throroughfares.\n\nThere is a pair of such ornamental pillars carved out of marble standing in front and behind Tian'anmen, the Gate of Heavenly Peace, at the centre of Beijing. Each pillar, entwined by a divine dragon engraved in relief, carried a plate on top called CHENGLUPAN for collecting dew£¬on which squats an animal called kong. This creature in Chinese mythology is supposed to be born of the dragon and good at keeping watch. It is generally referred to as the "stone lion." The four kong at Tian'anmen have different names, the two in front facing south and with their backs to the wall are called wangjungui

The Wall stretches over a formidable 6,352 km (3,948 miles), from Shanhai Pass on the Bohai Sea in the east, at the limit between China proper and Manchuria, to Lop Nur in the southeastern portion of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Wall_of_China

During the Second Sino Japanese War (from 7th July 1937 till 9th September 1945),\n\nLocation:  China  \n\nThe number of Casualties :\nChina -  3,200,000 military,17,530,000 civilians  = 20.73 million\nJapan -  1,100,000 military = 1.1million\n\nPlus, the war created 95 million refugees in China\n\nThe Japanese recorded around 1.1 million military casualties, killed, wounded and missing. There were a lot of various claims about the Japanese casualties. The official death-toll according to the Japan defense ministry was only about 200 thousand. But this is believed to be highly unlikely-- the number is far too small. The Chinese (both the communists and nationalists) claimed to have at most killed 1.77 million of Japanese soldiers during the 8-year-war but it would be an exaggeration (copy from below first website)\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Japanese_War_(1937-1945)\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_East_Asia_War_in_the_Pacific

Possibly the Battle of Cannae. If so, the sourced website lists only 48000 killed, but there were 55000 troops total.

Your question is hard to answer.  I would say the Jews had the most loss of life.  But Jewish is not a "race".  The Soviet Union had the most fatalities.  But then again we're not talking "race".  So if you want just "race", then I would have to say "Caucasian".

The History and Development of The Great Wall of China\nThe Great Wall of China is not a continuous wall but is a collection of short walls that often follow the crest of hills on the southern edge of the Mongolian plain. Overall, the wall extends about 1500 miles (2400 kilometers).\n\nA first set of walls, designed to keep Mongol nomads out of China, were built of earth and stones in wood frames during the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BCE).\n\nSome additions and modifications were made to these simple walls over the next millennium but the major construction of the "modern" walls began in the Ming Dynasty (1388-1644 CE).\n\nThe Ming fortifications were established in new areas from the Qin walls. They were up to 25 feet (7.6 meters) high, 15 to 30 feet (4.6 to 9.1 meters) wide at the base, and from 9 to 12 feet (2.7 to 3.7 meters) wide at the top (wide enough for marching troops or wagons). At regular intervals, guard stations and watch towers were established.\n\nSince the Great Wall was discontinuous, Mongol invaders had no trouble breaching the wall by going around it, so the wall proved unsuccessful and was eventually abandoned. Additionally, a policy of mollification during the subsequent Ch'ing Dynasty that sought to pacify the Mongol leaders through religious conversion also helped to limit the need for the wall.\n\nThrough Western contact with China from the 17th through 20th centuries, the legend of the Great Wall of China grew along with tourism to the wall. Restoration and rebuilding took place in the 20th century and in 1987 the Great Wall of China was made a World Heritage Site. Today, a portion of the Great Wall of China about 50 miles (80 km) from Beijing receives thousands of tourists each day.\n\nFor further study please check the following sites:\nhttp://geography.about.com/od/specificplacesofinterest/a/greatwall.htm\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Wall_of_China\n\nI also have included a google search check it out:\nhttp://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rls=GGLJ,GGLJ:2006-09,GGLJ:en&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=1&ct=result&cd=1&q=info+about+the+great+wall+of+china&spell=1\n\nI hope this helps. All the best for your history class. May God Bless You.

"Marching and killing people in their path"...sorry, I find this funny...\nok, If you'll say the same about G.Washington.\nWow...you obviously haven't a clue dude...\nNo sweat, most Westerners (esp. N.Americans) don't when it comes to China.\nLong March (1934-35) was, yes, a trek... starting in the southeast of China to the west/central provinces, and finally up north to the Party stronghold in N.Shaanxi province.  It was essentially a tour of duty to avoid the KMT army and Japanese to gain a strategic advantage in the north. Thousands died on the march, and only a fraction of the original marchers survived until the end. However, once the communists had a northern stronghold, they were better suited to fight the Japanese and KMT government. \nThe Japanese were raping, killing every Chinese they could see, and the KMT was doing nothing about it...if it weren't for the communist party fighting for the people, China would have completely been taken over by Japan during WW2. The Long March is one of the greatest moments of endurance and perseverence in the history of the CCP - they were only ones defending the country...many people willingly joined the long march in ardent support of Mao and the CCp in fighting the Japanese and defeating the corrupt regime of Chiang Kai Shek. \nThe history of the CCP is an incredibly noble one leading up to their final victory in 1949 - a victory that was celebrated by the people....there was so much anti KMT fervor that Chiang had no choice but to escape to Taiwan and ask for American assistance. The long march is essentially 'the golden age' of the CCP's struggle to bring about a people's democratic dictatorship.\nAnd the anti-japanese war/long march, is one of the reasons that Chinese today have faith and believe in their government. Because it has, and will always fight for its people. \n(As seen in raising 400 million people out of poverty since 1980)\nYes, China today has many problems, but it has only been developing for a short period. (Think of the problems the US had early 1800s)...either way, the Long March is one of most important and defining moments in the rise of Mao and Communism in China. Chinese are proud of this history. And to slander it, or support the KMT who was letting its people get slaughtered, or to underplay the viciousness of the Japanese is both naive and ignorant on anyone's part. The CCP saved China during the 30s and 40s. By the 40s, the US was helping the Communists, not the faltering KMT. 'Flying Tigers, Stillwell, etc. Even the Canadians were sending doctors to help the CCP (Norman Bethune) Once the long march was succesful, Communist victory in both the civil and anti-Japanese war was inevitable. \nStart studying Chinese history if you want to understand the world we live in.\nHope this answer suffices.
