What this site is (answer-first)

armedconflicts.org is a free, interactive world conflict map and global conflict tracker covering 29 active armed conflict theaters worldwide — including Ukraine, Gaza, Iran, Sudan and the Sahel. Each conflict has a plain-language briefing with key actors, status, approximate fatalities, and source attribution. Data is aggregated from ACLED, UCDP and the CFR Global Conflict Tracker; recent headlines come from Google News. It is a secondary aggregation, not a primary source.

Methodology, in brief

Each conflict is presented as a comparable “theater” with a consistent profile. Death figures are computed from UCDP Candidate Events data and shown with their as-of month and UCDP’s high/low range. Figures quoted from ACLED or CFR in briefing text name their source; where the datasets diverge, Where ACLED and UCDP disagree explains why. Full detail is on the methodology page. This resource is for educational, research and journalistic use — independently verify all data for high-stakes applications.
