Countries Currently at War

Can you name all of the countries with ongoing armed conflicts?
According to Wikipedia, all figures are for 2020
The date represents the year in which the greater conflict began, some conflicts are low intensity and have continued for a great length of time
As the quiz is centred around the different conflicts themselves, a country may be counted multiple times

Finally updated! Thank you everyone for playing. The quiz has changed to focus on the conflicts themselves, rather than the countries in which the conflicts are ocurring. However, the countries remain as the sole answers for the quiz. There is now additional information specifying dates and actual number of deaths, per 2020. Although 2020 will be widely remembered as a bad year, it was perhaps the most peaceful year in human history, continuing the slowing of several major conflicts, and only producing one new conflict in Ethiopia (along with the heating of the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan).

I realise that the nature of this quiz is flawed somewhat, in that I have to wait until the end of the year to get the whole statistics. I'd like to update the quiz soon, but with the major escalation in Ukraine the whole 'current' aspect of the quiz might seem a little misleading if I use the 2021 data.

very interesting quiz. I don't keep up to date with foreign conflicts, so it is interesting to see that there are so many countries in some state of war that I am not even aware of.

So the War in Donbass is considered a full-on war in Ukraine, but only a "minor conflict" in Russia? O.o

Would have imagined that Brazil is on the list considering all the warfare and butchering (especially) in the favelas. Just a couple of years back Brazil was announced as the second most dangerous country on Earth, and when you consider how many countries were/are at war...

Wow! - Some 40 countries (out of a total of 196 according to Wikipedia) are involved in some form of conflict in which the USA, Canada, France the UK and Germany are NOT involved!!! - Simply Wow!

Technically, the U.S. should be on this quiz. Aren't they still in that war in Afghanistan?

Only countries with present armed conflicts within their borders are included. Many of these are amongst/against insurgency groups so a bit different from the War in Afghanistan for instance (localised, small scale attacks).

Azerbaijan-Armenia?

Level 70

As of 2020, Azerbaijan would qualify but not Armenia, due to all of the casualties happening within Azerbaijan's internationally recognised territory. There are other conflicts which have sprung in 2020, such as the Tigray Conflict in Ethiopia, which would also bolster their respective status to "war", although I cannot take data for 2020 until the year is over.

Yes, although it will take some research before I am able to update this quiz. Currently, only Yemen and Afghanistan are considered to have had a 'major war' in 2020, but the Wikipedia article includes Saudi Arabia due to border skirmishes. I will need to find a way to differentiate this sort of issue in a logical way before I can begin to update the quiz.

I'm thinking of adding more information to the quiz too, at the moment it falls a little flat for me and doesn't do a good job at explaining certain things (based on the comments here).

I looked into it just now. The official death toll was 21, 20 Indians and one Chinese. However, it seems like more Chinese may have been killed than officially recognised. The 20 Indians dies from falling, some of that being caused by pushing as per the Wikipedia article. I am going to consider adding this, but I want to do more research into my source to see if there is any other reason they would have excluded the incident. The deaths all occured within Indian territory, so the country list would not be expanded mind you, but the Indian and Chinese casualties should be remembered too.

Thank you! That is intentional, according to Wikipedia 'formal hostilities' have been ongoing since 1785. The post-Soviet conflict is considered just a part of this larger conflict.

This is really interesting, I had no idea about this conflict. The quiz is slightly outdated (numbers are for 2020 which is the exact year that the Casamance conflict was at its lowest).
