783598 Number of ongoing conflicts - Conflict_type: all conflicts The number of all ongoing wars in each year. This includes interstate, intrastate, extrastate, and non-state wars. An ongoing war is a conflict between organized armed groups that causes at least 1,000 deaths during a year. We count a war 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 wars. We extend the time-series to 2007, by drawing on Correlates of War's Directed Dyadic Interstate War Dataset (version 4.01), which identifies no interstate wars for the years since 2003. 2023-08-01 18:08:56 2024-04-08 12:14:22     1816-2003 6165 28742
