Correlates of War Project: International and Civil War Data, 1816-1992

This data collection describes international and civil wars for the years 1816-1992. Part 1, the International Wars file, describes the experience of each interstate member in each war. The unit of analysis is the participant in a particular conflict. When and where each interstate member fought is coded, along with battle and total deaths, pre-war population and armed forces, and whether the member in question initiated the conflict. Each war is characterized as interstate, colonial, or imperial, and major power status and/or central system membership of the warring parties is noted. Part 2, the Civil Wars file, describes when and where fighting took place, whether the war was fought within the boundaries of a major power or central system member, whether there was outside intervention and, if so, whether the intervening state was a major power, on what side they intervened, who won the war, number of battle deaths, total population, and total number of pre-war armed forces.本数据集收录了1816年至1992年间的国际战争与内战相关资料。第一部分为国际战争数据集，记录了每场战争中各参战主权国家的参战历程。其分析单元为特定冲突中的参战方，编码内容涵盖各参战方的参战时间、作战地点、战斗死亡人数与总死亡人数、战前人口与武装部队规模，以及该参战方是否为冲突发起方。每场战争将被划分为国家间战争、殖民战争或帝国主义战争三类，同时标注交战方是否具备大国地位或属于中央体系成员。第二部分为内战数据集，记录了内战发生的时间与地点、战争是否爆发于大国或中央体系成员的领土范围内、是否存在外部干预（若存在则需明确干预国是否为大国、其干预立场）、战争胜负结果、战斗死亡人数、总人口规模及战前武装部队总规模。
