>>18503398Duh.>One third of China was able to tale 600,000 soldiers on a campaign hundreds of miles, have their army wiped out, and suffer no long-term ill effects>This was after decades of warfare and at the same time the Roman Empire still existed

>>18503398https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/imd89q/why_do_death_tolls_in_chinese_warfare_is_so_deadly/According to r/askhistorians reddit user ohea 6y ago the situation were such that :There is a very simple explanation for the Three Kingdoms "death toll." That number, 36-40 million, was arrived at simply by comparing the Han census of 2 AD to the Jin census of 280 AD. The Han census recorded some 56 million people while the Jin census recorded only about 16 million- taken at face value, this suggests up to 40 million deaths! That's two-thirds of the entire population!There are, however, good reasons *not* to take this number at face value. For one, two-thirds of an entire population dying in the span of a century should have been utterly apocalyptic, to the extent that we should be amazed that Chinese civilization survived at all- and while the Three Kingdoms period was clearly very disruptive and very violent, the written and archaeological records do not suggest an apocalypse. Two, considering the Han census was taken some two centuries before the start of the Three Kingdoms period proper, long-term trends of the Eastern Han may also have contributed to population decline well before the violence began. Three, there is good reason to believe that there was a serious undercount in the Jin census. That is to say, the censuses probably do not accurately reflect the extent of population decline between 2 AD and 280 AD, and Three Kingdoms-era warfare was probably not the sole cause of what population decline really did occur. I'll focus on the Jin undercount in the discussion below.
