About this Dataset

History Of War (PRIO V3.1, 2017)

This dataset provides information on armed conflicts, using data from the PRIO Battledeaths Dataset (version 3.1).

We combine these datasets to provide information on the number of ongoing and new conflicts, the number of ongoing and new conflict types, as well as the number of deaths in ongoing conflicts and conflict types.

Deaths of combatants and civilians due to fighting are included.

We use the world regions as defined by PRIO: Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe, and Middle East. The regions are defined based on Gleditsch and Ward codes, as in "UCDP/PRIO Armed Conflict Dataset".
Find the complete mapping at http://ksgleditsch.com/data/iisystem.dat (states) and http://ksgleditsch.com/data/microstatessystem.dat (micro-states).

• Americas: 2-199

• Europe: 200-399

• Africa: 400-626

• Middle East: 630-699

• Asia and Oceania: 700-999
