Kenya vs Tanzania: 80 Years of War and Peace 🇰🇪🇹🇿
Kenya and Tanzania: deaths in wars and armed conflicts, year by year from 1946 to 2026.
Kenya: 0 (1946) · highest 2,591 (1952) · 190 (2026)
Tanzania: 0 (1946) · highest 25 (2020) · 0 (2026)
What the number means: the people killed in the fighting of wars and armed conflicts on the country's territory in that year - soldiers and civilians.
A line that jumps up shows a war or a conflict starting; a line at zero means no armed conflict with 25 or more deaths that year.
Deaths in wars and armed conflicts = soldiers and civilians killed in the fighting of conflicts in which at least one side is a government (wars between countries, civil wars, colonial wars), counted in the country where the fighting took place. A conflict is counted from 25 deaths in a year (Uppsala Conflict Data Program). Deaths from hunger or disease caused by a war are not included.
Data: 1946-1988 PRIO Battle Deaths Dataset v3.1 (Lacina & Gleditsch), 1989-2025 Uppsala Conflict Data Program (UCDP GED v26.1), processed by Our World in Data; deaths are counted where the fighting took place. 1984-1988 are gently adjusted so the two sources join without a jump. 2026: UCDP candidate events January-September 2026, plus an estimate for October-December.
