By numbers? USSR c.17 million then Jews c.5.9 million then Poland c.3 million then Probably Serbia but depends if Partizans are counted as civilians. Gypsies I think lost about 600,000 but all the above is from memory so I hope it is accurate.

By percentage almost certainly Poland.

In terms of percentage, the biggest number of civilians were lost by two peoples over the last several centuries, - jews and chechens. ( caucasian wars, stalin, 1994-.... )

poland had 35 million in 1939 after war 28 million...polish jews and poles had 7 million dead...and many deported to siberia and kazakhstan..and some millions emigrated..alltogether 10 million lost....
if we count 1800 centruy wars with deportation and ethnic clensing by germans and russians it was the worst in world....there would live prolly 150 million in poland...napoleon wars,northern war with sweden raveging poland...then russia...ww1,ww2 both thru poland...greatest genocide on poles..and all the uprising in poland was about 5 organised theu 1800-1900 cent many killed, deported or emigrate..and the chelmnitcki cossacks killed many houndreds thousand jews and poles....and when russia ocupy poland many jews killed by east slavs progrom, ethnic extermination...ukraines famine was also many 8 million by the ruskys..kaukasus had more deported some killed also russia has good record on killings and deport with germany..

Lot of competition for percentage lost, Rain. There are hardly any Caribbeans left and the last Tasmanian died in 1888.

This is true, happy gunner. I'm not sure about the Tasmanians, but I do know that all (or almost all) Indians on the Carribean islands were completely wiped out, as well as other Indian peoples in the new world (ie the Huron).

indians are among worst that tru but half them died just by coming in contact with white folks desise was a great contributor and thats not on purpose even tho many indians was slayed if not christian and worked as slaves thats why theres blacks there now cause indians was weak and died when working hard the blacks where stronger more enduring against desise etc...it sounds strange but thats the facts indias somehow have worse dna bad luk....the spaniards saw how indians died like flys and they get problem with alkohol too...so they took blacks insted to work for them, they adapted better..did spain,england etc ever make apology for slavery and butchery on blacks and indians..
