2. The Project Mars database, which covers all conventional wars that started between the year 1800 and 2011, lists 201 wars that started between 1800 and 1950 and 49 wars that started between 1951 and 2011. The following table lists the biggest 11 wars in the database where size is measured by the number of warring parties. (Most warring parties are countries but many are things like rebel groups that aren't representing established countries). Name of War Start Year Number of Warring Parties 71 WWII 1939 1800 35 Napoleonic WWI 1914 34 Warlord Era: Anhui-Zhili War 1920 19 Russian Civil War 1918 13 Boxer Rebellion 1900 9 First Balkan War 1912 9 1813 8 1866 8 Durrani Empire-Sikh War Austro-Prussian War Lebanese War of 1982-84 (MNF in Lebanon) Persian Gulf War 1982 8 1991 7 Data: Project Mars a.
