Who vs whom was beaten?

Hi, everyone.

Could someone help me understand this? How can I tell when to use who or whom in the sentences like below?

Who/whom was beaten in the war between A and B?

Thanks!

Use who because it is the grammatical subject of a passive sentence. Similarly: He was beaten. (Not: Him ) CB
