Couple surprises, but guessed most of them. Interesting how many involved USA.

Okay SGT (Join to see) I worked my way through the list which was fairly well documented until the designated number 1 -slave trade which happened over centuries and does not have a solid estimate like the ones preceding it did.
From my understanding of history the largest forced migration could well be attributed to WWII when the (1) Axis powers of Germany and Japan forced undesirables into work camps while the USSR had its own purges; (2) Operation Barbarossa forced who knows how many millions out of their homes - Russians went east while many of the eastern republics fled to the woods as far as they could go; and (3) when Germany, Hungary and their allies were being pushed west many Germans, Czechs, Romanians, and Hungarians fled westward to avoid being captured by the vengeful Soviets..
