783604 Number of ongoing conflicts - Conflict_type: inter-state conflicts The number of ongoing interstate wars in each year. An ongoing interstate war is a conflict between states 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 2010, by drawing on Correlates of War's Directed Dyadic Interstate War Dataset (version 4.01), which identifies no wars for the years since 2003. 2023-08-01 18:08:56 2024-04-08 12:14:22     1816-2003 6165 28742
