About this Dataset

History Of War (COW MID, 2020)

This dataset provides information on militarized interstate disputes, using Correlates of War's Militarized Interstate Disputes dataset (version 5.0).

The dataset provides information on the number of ongoing and new interstate conflicts and the number of deaths in ongoing interstate conflicts.

Deaths of combatants due to fighting are included.

We use the world regions of the participants to code the conflicts' world region(s). The regions are defined based on Gleditsch and Ward codes. Find the complete mapping at
