What this page shows

Conflict data must keep methodology visible because sources differ on event definitions, battle deaths, civilian harm, and reporting lag.

The primary charts now come from normalized database observations. Snapshot cards remain useful for latest values, but time series and paired relationships get chart types that match the question.

Database charts

Conflict over time and in context

These charts use normalized observations from the World Vitals database. Time-series charts show change; scatter plots show paired relationships where the data actually supports comparison.
