You can still move after being pronounced dead?

Known as "post-mortem movement" or "Lazarus phenomenon," some people's bodies can twitch, move limbs, or even sit up after being declared dead. This occurs due to residual electrical activity in the muscles and nerves, oxygen still present in the body, or the release of built-up energy.

The longest war in recorded history is the Hundred Years' War between England and France, lasting 116 years (1337-1453), involving multiple generations and claiming an estimated 2.3 million lives, with some battles lasting decades, and others resulting in entire cities being razed to the ground, ultimately shaping the course of European history and nation-building.

The deadliest war in human history is World War II, with an estimated 50-80 million fatalities, accounting for approximately 3% of the world's population at the time. This staggering toll includes 20-30 million deaths in the Soviet Union, 15-20 million in China, 5-6 million in Germany, 3-4 million in Japan, and 418,500 in the United States. The causes of death were equally devastating, with 20-25 million battlefield deaths, 19-25 million civilian deaths from bombing, genocide, and famine, and 10-15 million deaths from disease and starvation, all occurring over the war's six-year duration from September 1, 1939, to September 2, 1945.
