Indeed a conservative estimate...the systematic workings of the US is acountable by proxy for alot more deaths and also all of the brutality filled acts for those who survived...the overwhelming majority being committed on darker skinned people.
Chronological list of US murder toll: [under construction]
The murder toll has been achieved by either direct violence (e.g. the firebombing and nuking of Japan or the firebombing of Dresden) or indirect/proxy “low intensity conflict” (e.g. Rwanda in the 90s or Nicaragua in the 80s). (I have not here accounted for the deaths attributable to SAP.) Some extremely conservative estimates—
