Passage: The Australian prime minister, Billy Hughes, wrote to the British prime minister, Lloyd George, "You have assured us that you cannot get better terms. I much regret it, and hope even now that some way may be found of securing agreement for demanding reparation commensurate with the tremendous sacrifices made by the British Empire and her Allies." Australia received £5,571,720 war reparations, but the direct cost of the war to Australia had been £376,993,052, and, by the mid-1930s, repatriation pensions, war gratuities, interest and sinking fund charges were £831,280,947. Of about 416,000 Australians who served, about 60,000 were killed and another 152,000 were wounded. Diseases flourished in the chaotic wartime conditions. In 1914 alone, louse-borne epidemic typhus killed 200,000 in Serbia. From 1918 to 1922, Russia had about 25 million infections and 3 million deaths from epidemic typhus. In 1923, 13 million Russians contracted malaria, a sharp increase from the pre-war years. In addition, a major influenza epidemic spread around the world. Overall, the 1918 flu pandemic killed at least 50 million people. The social disruption and widespread violence of the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the ensuing Russian Civil War sparked more than 2,000 pogroms in the former Russian Empire, mostly in Ukraine. An estimated 60,000-200,000 civilian Jews were killed in the atrocities. In the aftermath of World War I, Greece fought against Turkish nationalists led by Mustafa Kemal, a war that eventually resulted in a massive population exchange between the two countries under the Treaty of Lausanne. According to various sources, several hundred thousand Greeks died during this period, which was tied in with the Greek Genocide.
About how many Australians that served were not killed or wounded? After WWI who fought against the Turkish nationalists resulting in the Treaty of Lausanne? Did more Russians contract typhus or malaria? How many Australians who served in the war were not killed or wounded? How many more Australian soldiers were wounded rather than killed? How many more dollars did Australia spend on the war than they had received in war reparations? How many more million people died in the 1918 flu pandemic compared to how many million Russians contracted malaria in 1923? How many more pounds had the war cost Australia than they received reparations for? How many more £ would have been needed for Australia to cover all direct cost of the war? How many of the Australians who served, were not killed or wonded? How many total Australian soldiers were killed and wounded in the war? In a span of how many years did 3 million people perish from epidemic typhus? Of the Australians who served how many were not killed or wounded? What countries suffered significant typhus deaths in the 1910s? What types of diseases were flourishing in the wartime conditions? Which epidemic killed more people between 1918 and 1922, typhus or influenza? Which two prime ministers communicated regarding reparation for sacrifices made by the British Empire and her Allies?
