Conflict layers use Uppsala Conflict Data Program records. The global register is built from conflict-year observations; candidate-event records provide dated places and fatality estimates where loaded.
| Layer | Unit | Loaded coverage | Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCDP/PRIO Armed Conflict Dataset | Conflict-year | 1946-2025 | Conflict identity, type, incompatibility, sides, location, intensity |
| UCDP Candidate Events | Dated event | 2025-July 2026 snapshot | Current events, place, actors, low/best/high fatalities |
What map counts mean
Conflict-map color counts distinct loaded conflict records intersecting the selected window and state. It is not territorial control, military effectiveness, force size, spending, or a fatality rate. Candidate-event markers are provisional records at the source boundary.
Parties and relationships
Side A and Side B reproduce source-side coding within a conflict. Same-side links are conflict-specific observed relationships, not permanent alliances. Opposing-side links do not imply an enduring diplomatic category. The network preserves this distinction.
