Visual Capitalist: Mapped: Where Are The World's Ongoing Conflicts Today? 

We live in an era of relative peace compared to most of history, however, as Visual Capitalist's Avery Koop details below, this does not mean that there are no conflicts in the world today. 

This map using data from the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) reveals where the world’s 27 ongoing conflicts are today, and what type of conflicts they are.  

Detailing the Conflicts 

Many people alive today have never lived through a war on their country’s soil, especially those in the West. 

But conflict, wars, and violence are by no means things of the past. 

According to the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED), as of Q2’2021 alone: 

* Violence against civilians resulted in over 5,000 deaths worldwide 

* Battle related deaths numbered over 18,000 * Explosion/remote violence led to more than 4,000 deaths 

* Riots resulted in over 600 fatalities

WNU Editor: Historically speaking. Today's conflicts are minor when compared to wars and conflicts in the past. But we all know this can change very quickly if today's major powers decide to wage war directly against each other right now.

WNU, you are the frog in the pot that thinks everything is okay
You seem to not realize the new war we are in
5th gen warfare, happening right now, all around you - and yes, you are a target, and yes they have already taken a bunch of your money and rights
And you sit there.. in the almost boiling water, pointing at potential scenarios, while you are IN IT. right now
