The world gone crazy....
Russian invadeing Ukraine:
400k+ causilites on russian side (military that arnt able bodied anymore to fight) (~180,000 deaths) and 190k+ casulties on ukrines side (~80k deaths). In ukrine thers been over 30,000 civilian deaths as well.
Then theres this..... the Israel hamas war... again, alot of civilian deaths (over 30k as well).
Can we just all chill out?
I miss the 90's, they seemed so much more peacefull.

We didn't have the internet back then, and as Rol said, the West didn't care all that much about all these

The big spike is the Rwandan genocide.
Europe had its own war in Yugoslavia: It is estimated that more than 100,000 people were killed and two million people, more than half the population, were forced to flee their homes as a result of the war that raged from April 1992 through to November 1995 when a peace deal was initialled in Dayton. Thousands of Bosnian women were systematically raped.

Gaza is most likely going to surpass the death toll from Yugoslavia. The official number sits at 31,500, however many bodies don't make it to a hospital to get counted. Miscarriages, babies dying after birth from malnutrition don't even have a birth certificate to be counted. Many more people will die due to the collapse of the healthcare system, malnutrition, starvation, diseases spreading, unexploded bombs, structures further collapsing.
It is clear nobody ever learns from history :(
Gaza and Ukraine are in the spot light now, however there are currently 110 armed conflicts going on in the world

Today, it monitors more than 110 armed conflicts and provides information about parties, the latest developments, and applicable international law. Some of these conflicts make the headlines, others do not. Some of them started recently, while others have lasted for more than 50 years.
ME + North Africa: 45+
Africa: 35+
Asia: 21
Europe: 7
Latin America: 6
The following military occupations constitute the majority of armed conflicts that are taking place in Europe, four out of seven conflicts: Russia is currently occupying Crimea (Ukraine), Transdniestria (Moldova), as well as South Ossetia and Abkhazia (Georgia), while Armenia is occupying parts of Nagorno Karabakh (Azerbaijan). Europe is also the theatre of an international armed conflict (IAC) between Ukraine and Russia, and of two non-international armed conflicts (NIACs) in Ukraine opposing governmental forces with the self-proclaimed ‘People’s Republics’ of Donetsk and Luhansk in eastern Ukraine.

Holy sh*t..... I guess its just lack of internet, and being "young and innocent" then, and not knowing.
I just assumed in the 90's the world was a brighter place, without all this conflict.

This surprises me.
Why does Russian invadeing Ukrane count 4 times? and what are the other 3 conflicts in europe?
Drug wars, are counted? in mexico.... and colombia?
I know India and parkistan hate each other, and sometimes have border conflicts.... and China loves to push boundries too, so yeah.
Myanmar had that military coup thingy.
These all count as ongoing... but their not really active wars?
Like just random skirmishes, ongoing political issues/policeing ones, from some of these insane countries and their leaders.
Anyways, these shouldn't really be counted as wars.
Conflicts is probably a good word (like they use).
