Actually kind of an interesting graph. Seems like there is a pattern of 10 years of conflict and tension and then a either a hold or another 10 years with a calm period.
I noticed the same. Like I know the second US/Iraq war was a long one, so like the deaths would be diffused over several years, but It doesn’t seem to add up?
Here’s another graph I found of just Iraqui civilian deaths: 2006 or 7 had about 30,000
Pre 2016 would be better.
You are not wrong. In this graph it seems like 2002 - 2012 was the calmest period in a very long time.

I wasn’t really around when the US did their post-9/11 thing… but shouldn’t there be more deaths in that period?

The graph clearly isn’t including deaths of muslims.
Come to think of it, it doesn’t even label who it counts under “battle deaths”…
