    A quick explanation, the circle shows the GDP of the country. At the top you can see a small circle for Iceland with 3/4 of it red to show how massive their help for the banks was.

    The UK has spent 20% of its GDP on helping banks, Ireland 50% and France is barely effected by its spending.


    The blue section of the circle shows building programs to stimulate jobs, China spent half its GDP on making new bridges or whatever where as Australia did not do much spending (or need to apparently)

    This is a chart of Napoleon's invasion of Russia. The brown broad line shows the army crossing Niemen river with 422,000 men. The width of the line reduces to reflect losses in battle and otherwise.

    Napoleon enters Moscow with 100,000 men and leaves having successfully captured the city. When on his return journey he crosses the Niemen river again his original 422,000 had now become 10,000

    What a rout.
    Those that fail to learn from history repeat it:

    Various scholars have estimated the Axis suffered 850,000 casualties (killed, disabled, captured) among all branches of the German armed forces and its allies, many of them POWs who died in Soviet captivity between 1943 and 1955. 400,000 Germans, 120,000 Romanians, 120,000 Hungarians, and 120,000 Italians were killed, wounded or captured. Of the 91,000 German POWs taken at Stalingrad, 27,000 died within weeks and only 5,000 returned to Germany in 1955. The remainder of the POWs died in Soviet captivity. According to Soviet sources, the Axis lost 1.5 million killed, wounded or captured in the whole Stalingrad area. 50,000 ex-Soviets Hiwis (local volunteers incorporated into the German forces in supporting capacities) were killed or captured by the Red Army. According to archival figures, the Red Army suffered a total of 1,129,619 total casualties; 478,741 men killed or missing and 650,878 wounded. These numbers are for the whole Stalingrad Area; in the city itself 750,000 were killed, captured, or wounded. Red Army penal battalions (Strafbaty) executed 278 Soviet soldiers for cowardice during the battle. Also, more than 40,000 Soviet civilians died in Stalingrad and its suburbs during a single week of aerial bombing as the German 4th Panzer and 6th armies approached the city; the total number of civilians killed in the regions outside the city is unknown. In all, the battle resulted in an estimated total of 1.7 million to 2 million Axis and Soviet casualties.
