Great link, thanks for that. We should also note that those are only combatants and don't include the far larger number of civilians who dies because of these conflicts (Holocaust, Siege of Stalingrad, etc.)
I agree that the last 50 years, in terms of "war deaths per capita", must be the most peaceful in all of recorded history, and probably by a huge margin.
Yes, the first link is combatants only. I think the numbers in the second link include civilian deaths, but it isn't explicitly stated on that page.
