The sunburst shows some of the significant battles in WW2.
Hover over a radial to see the information. The sunburst starts
with the entire battles dataset (centre). You can click on a radial next to the centre,
to see battles in a country. When you click on a battle in a country,
you can see the number of casualties on the axis and allied side of that battle.
The numbers are estimates retrieved from multiple sources. Please note that the dataset
contains some of the significant battles in WW2, but not all the battles that occurred in WW2.
