This dataset contains information on armed conflicts, both internal and external, in the period of 1400 and 1999. | ||
It has been constructed using the Conflict Catalog Data by Dr. Peter Brecke. | ||
This dataset has its own region definitions (taken from https://bpb-us-w2.wpmucdn.com/sites.gatech.edu/dist/1/19/files/2018/09/Brecke-PSS-1999-paper-Violent-Conflicts-1400-AD-to-the-Present.pdf): | ||
- North America, Central America, and the Caribbean | ||
- South America | ||
- Europe west of 15 degrees east longitude plus Sweden and Italy | ||
- Europe east of 15 degrees east longitude (includes Caucusus region) | ||
- Middle East (Iran west to Syria and Arabian peninsula) | ||
- North Africa (Egypt to Morocco and Mauritania east to Sudan) | ||
- West & Central Africa (Senegal to Congo) | ||
- East & South Africa (Ethiopia to Zambia to Angola and south) | ||
- Central Asia (Afghanistan, former Soviet republics, and Siberia) | ||

number_deaths_ongoing_conflicts: | ||
title: Number of deaths in ongoing conflicts | ||
unit: deaths | ||
description: >- | ||
The total fatalities estimates in a year over the course of wars. The total fatalities estimates vary significantly in terms of the degree to which they include disease, starvation, etc. | ||
For some conflicts, data on the number of fatalities was missing. In such cases, we have set the value to 32, which is the lower bound of yearly | ||
deaths defined by the source for a violent conflict to be recorded in the dataset. | ||

number_ongoing_conflicts: | ||
title: Number of ongoing conflicts | ||
unit: conflicts | ||
description: >- | ||
Number of ongoing conflicts in a given year. | ||
We count a conflict as ongoing in a region even if the conflict is also ongoing in other regions. The sum across all regions can therefore be higher than the total number of ongoing conflicts. | ||

number_new_conflicts: | ||
title: Number of new conflicts | ||
unit: conflicts | ||
description: >- | ||
Number of new conflicts in a given year. | ||
• New conflicts for the 'World': We only count a conflict as new when the conflict overall started that year, not if it became active again. | ||
• New conflicts for all regions: We count a conflict as new in a region even if the conflict overall started earlier in another region. | ||
The sum across all regions can therefore be higher than the total number of new conflicts. | ||
