I don’t know if the mass killings by the Khmer Rouge are included under “Second Indochina War”—I would think not since they continued beyond 1975. Mao alone killed more people than died in any of the conflicts listed. The list omits the death toll from the partition of India in 1947.

No question they've left out a significant number of wars. On a per capita basis, the Lebanese civil war killed 2.5x as many people as have been killed in Syria. The Guatemala civil war killed a comparable number of people. Bottom line is the Wikipedia list includes only conflicts that killed almost a million or more people.

Oh yes, forgot about Chairman Mao and Comrade Stalin's starvation of the Ukraine has to rank up there too...and Say- how many North Koreans have disappeared from earth since WW2? Genocide? I'll drink to that!
