List of ongoing military conflicts

finally, i am defining DVs in terms of the specificity of contained data stream. 

Each DV is an interactive application that tracks down information from the news archive on military conflicts that is available online based on google earth location.

To give you a rough idea, here is the list of ongoing military conflicts around the world. (wikipedia)

1000+ deaths per year

Conflicts in the following list are currently causing at least 1000 violent deaths per year, a categorization used by the Uppsala Conflict Data Program and recognised by the United Nations. The UN also use the term "low intensity conflict", which can overlap with the 1000 violent deaths per year categorization.
