Most war statistics, such as death tolls, is biased or unreliable. In most cases no exact figures can be given. Please note that the war data on this site is very much a work in progress and that especially the death toll data should be taken as a guide. In the work to compile the information for this site I had invaluable help from the following internet resources:
The Nobel Peace Prize site
for the basic information and overview of the wars of
the 20th century.
http://www.nobel.se/peace/
Matthew White's "Historical Atlas of the Twentieth
Century"
whose careful comparisions of death toll data from diverse
sources have been of great importance for this site.
Even more impressing when you find out that the guy
does this in his spare time!

Wikipedia
is an amazing free, user-written online dictionary.
Almost all war details are quoted from Wikipedia.

The Conflict Database
at the Department for Peace and Conflict Research
at the University of Uppsala in Sweden. A public online
database used for research into all conflicts worldwide
since 1989. Very rich and complex.
