the conflict map is on the nobel peace prize web site. in the site’s words…

The map includes more than 200 wars from 1899-2001. Each flame represents one war. The map tells us where and when wars were fought and gives a brief summary of the conflict scenarios. However, it does not explain the deeper causes of war or how they end…..

….In addition to conflicts, the map also provides statistical information on the geographical distribution of Peace Prize laureates and nominees during the period 1901-2001.

as you scroll along the timeline you see the flames appearing for the conflicts.

amazing… and sobering
