THIS LAND IS MINE
Anthropogenic hazards or human-made hazards can result in the form of a human-made disaster. In this case, anthropogenic means threats having an element of human intent, negligence, or error; or involving a failure of a human-made system. It results in huge loss of life and property. It further affects a person's mental, physical and social well-being. This is opposed to natural disasters resulting from natural hazards.
This list includes only anthropogenic death toll owing to wars.
Chronological list of genocide casualties:
(This list is in no way comprehensive. All wars with casualties below 1000 have been omitted. There are many unlisted casualities from other wars not recorded by Wikipedia.)
