This seems kind of a "Lies, damned lies, and statistics" thing to measure. It makes large centralized conflicts (one war between two states where ten million people die) seem a lot less severe in comparison to decentralized conflicts (ten wars between twenty local groups where one million people die in total).
Yup. The article SAYS that. Offers nothing to back it up. The graph on that article only goes back to 1975. Not sure what I was supposed to learn here.

That's not what the top graph seems to indicate (the 80s)

Says nothing about world war 2. Or anything before 1988, which was my whole point. You're just posting links without addressing what I'm saying.

No, even text search has nothing. I'm done. This title is just unsupported bullshit, that's straight up contradicted by the data given.

That's the result of spending trillions in war every year, if you prepare for war that's what you get.
