This map layer shows the number of years at peace between 1946 and 2017.
Times at peace refer as a percentage to the entire period and are shown in five categories. Participation in wars within one’s country as well as in other countries was taken into consideration. The underlying definition of war takes wars or conflicts into account in which at least one state is party to the conflict and in which more than 25 persons have been killed due to fighting.
For presentation sake, the number of years with a participation in war were added up and subtracted from the period under review (sum of all years minus sum of participation in war).
