American Military Sacrifice

A memorial-style dashboard for major U.S. military conflicts: deaths, wounded, costs, major battles and leadership context

Baseline casualty data uses DoD/DCAS-style principal-war summaries where available. Early conflicts, Civil War totals and cost estimates need final source validation before publication.

Interpretation note: this dashboard treats the figures as a memorial and exploration tool, not a blame chart. Leadership views show conflicts associated with commanders or presidents, not deaths personally caused by them.
