Conflict and Human Suffering through Data

Introduction

The phrase “war never changes” captures more than fatalism, it reflects the persistence of patterns that data continues to reveal. Across centuries, the maps of conflict redraw themselves, but the underlying metrics remain painfully familiar: rising casualties, displaced populations, swelling budgets, and cyclical reconstruction.

Through interactive visualizations we shall explore those metrics to give an overview of the never ending story that is war, giving insights into those times that may reapper (and are appearing) in the future.
