(my response) IWar has sadly become pretty much a constant in our lives with the on-going conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, but it wasn't always so as this animated video shows.

To help compare and contrast the history of war over the past 1,000 years, a YouTube user has created this incredible animated video which illustrates all the important battles that have taken place over the last ten centuries.


World at war: The incredible video that shows 1,000 years of conflict in five minutes

One thousand years of war are represented over a five-minute span. To a soundtrack of 'Ride Of The Valkyries' by Richard Wagner, the video documents the wars in chronological order with the sizes of the explosions and labels proportional to the number of casualties.

The video starts relatively peacefully, but over time the scale and magnitude of global conflicts increases and perhaps the saddest thing is that it is the last 100 years or so which have been the bloodiest.

This is my response to the video that shows the history of war in a few minutes on a world map
