Gross national product includes income from overseas investment and excludes profits generated in the United States but accruing to foreign accounts. Gross domestic product excludes overseas profits owed to American accounts but includes the value of all items originating in the United States, regardless of the ultimate destination of the profits. Until recent years, those factors made for negligible differences in the calculation of national and domestic product, but most economists now prefer the latter methodology.

* Deaths from disease and other causes are not shown. In earlier wars especially, owing to poor medical and sanitary practices, nonbattle deaths substantially exceeded combat casualties. † The difference between total costs and original costs is attributable to continuing postwar pay- ments for items such as veterans’ benefits, interest on war debts, and so on. ‡ 1957–1990 (Sources: Historical Statistics of the United States, Statistical Abstract of the United States, relevant years, and The World Almanac and Book of Facts, 1986. )
