Interesting piece about war over time and our current 'peaceful' era

Lert: He is counting the mentioned conflicts like Vietnam, Korea, Iran / Iraq, Falklands, etc. Observe:     1) He's counting 'battle death', not 'war death' 2) You can see spikes in the 'battle death' count around the times those conflicts were happening   No, this video is not comprehensive. It's not meant to be. Hence why his channel name is 'kurzgesagt', ('short said' ) or in proper english, 'in short' or 'in a nutshell'. As others have stated, the author intended to address a trend, give a brief but possible explanation of that trend, and express that it is only a trend; that more time needs to pass before we can draw real conclusions from it.   As for him stating WWII to be the 'last war', he could have meant 'large scale war', I'd have to re-watch but don't have the time now. The others wars were far smaller scale.
