Your figures are more exact than mine and for now I accept them. But I do not accept that everyone or every nation is equally good or bad and commits the same crimes: that is a cop-out and a form of prejudice....Everyone suffered, all big parties did horrible things.
In my reading so far only the Ottomans committed deadly mass reprisals against civilians. My only surprise is discovering that hundreds - perhaps thousands - of these dead were Arab Muslims executed by the Ottomans for suspected collaboration with the British in southern Iraq. (The Brits tried to obtain surrender terms that would protect the civilians but were refused.)
