Here, historians and programmers have compiled an interactive map of all the wars of mankind from antiquity to our time.

12,703 wars, 2,500 years of confrontations and conflicts, seizures of territories and attempts to defend their land from enemies. Mankind has almost never lived in peace with its neighbors.

And who turned out to be the most bloodthirsty?

The leaders are France, Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.

Moreover, over the past 500 years, the island old lady has organized more than 70 major wars not at home, but on the continent.

A decrepit hegemon, the United States, despite its relative youth, has participated in more than 100 wars over the past 300 years.

But what is the “evil empire”, as Russia is called in the West? And our country has participated in only 22 wars in its entire history. Less — except in the eternally frozen Greenland, where even in the best of times no more than 55 thousand people lived.

It turned out to be awkward somehow.
