I thought this was a really cool mash-up of Google Maps and Wikipedia's list of historical battles/wars:

You don't think friendly fire incidents are examples of conflict?

Not really. Also I don't count the air Force losing track of some of it's nuclear weapons for a day and a half a "conflict". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_United_States_Air_Force_nuclear_weapons_incident
Curiously The Australian government shooting Emus is a conflict while the Chaco War is not listed.
Swear to God on this one. One of the conflicts listed is "The War that came Early", which is a novel by Harry Turtledove. http://www.conflicthistory.com/#/period/1899-1988/conflict/+en+the_war_that_came_early
:XD:

This thing is clearly a data mining project. It searches wiki for things that look like conflicts and then maps them and provides links. Interesting for me because this is the kind of thing I study.
I wonder if it updates automatically :hmm: My guess is probably not. It's probably using an xml dump of wiki rather than the website.

Fixed. :P
I'm surprised it doesn't include Ed's war against the Rabbits.

If I could, I'd gas the rabbits too.
