From Wikipedia -

This list of wars by death toll includes death toll estimates of all deaths that are either directly or indirectly caused by war. These numbers usually include the deaths of military personnel which are the direct results of battle or other military wartime actions, as well as the wartime/war-related deaths of soldiers, which are the results of war-induced epidemics, famines, atrocities, genocide, etc.

are the Napoleonic Wars one discrete thing or separate things?

would the conflicts between Japan and China in the 30s/40s count as something separate from WWII? I would imagine so, right?

couple more to add:

Soviet invasion of Afghanistan
Syrian civil war?

I bet there's rich pickings in Africa; which countries there have had prolonged civil wars?

I don't know about the most recent War in Iraq, but I think the Gulf War following Iraq's invasion of Kuwait probably doesn't make the cut

The recent war in Afghanistan might be there. And what about Syria? That's gotta be there.

Bump - Deadline has either passed or is close to passing based on the OP

Happy to extend time on it as seems quite a mute point in how this has run, but time to get some guesses in
