On April 22, 1867, the London Peace Conference convened. Representatives from over twenty countries around the world gathered in London to discuss this unusual global conflict.
This was the most expansive war since the anti-French wars, involving the greatest number of countries and covering the broadest areas.
Undoubtedly, it was also the war with the heaviest casualties and the greatest economic losses, with total military strength losses exceeding two million and the total economic losses surpassing two billion Divine Shields.
(Equivalent to one billion pounds, or 7322.38 tons of gold.)
Leaving aside other factors, just considering the human casualties and economic losses was enough to collectively silence the nations. Many countries did not even have populations over two million, and their entire national value did not amount to 20 billion Divine Shields.
