At least 753,399 people have been killed in Afghanistan and Iraq together.
About 251 times as many people have been killed in Afghanistan and Iraq than in the horrible attacks of 9/11.
More than 108 times as many people have been killed in these wars than in all terrorist attacks in the world from 1993-2004.
Here's how the Iraq war started...
