I assumed you would know since you're interested in the subject. In general, the whole colonization of the west was a fairly understaffed affair.
For example, the French and Indian War involved well under 100 thousand combatants, maybe even just 50 thousand. At the same time, during the Seven Years' War in Europe over a million people were mobilized. In multiple battles Europeans took about as many casualties as the North American theatre had participants.
War in Iraq alone is about one million deaths. And given that you’re counting deaths of famine as victims of communism, you’d have to add victims of American sanctions around the world, as well as victims of American lack of welfare.
