Wow. The two World Wars of the 20th Century were responsible for 60% of all violent death (including petty murders, but not accidents, starvation, diseases, etc) from 1820 to 1950. Not only that, but it doesn't matter what I (or anyone else) says here, because war is completely random! Obviously, that's not actually true (well, the part about war being random is true), as the article points out just because crime rate is a known quantity, "I'm sorry your honor, but somebody has to keep the murder rate up" won't fly with a jury. Indiviual wars happen for a reason. It's just that those reasons arise at random periods. Anyway, go read the article. Now.
