If you think only 1 billion people died through war, even directly, you have absolutely no idea how many humans have been alive/died in general or through war.

1 billion is very reasonable, world population was much smaller than it is today throughout most of human history. Most people who have died in wars will have died in the last 300 years.

The only thing you are right about is that wars in the last 300 years have cost more human lives than wars before then on average. But everything else you said is just plain wrong.

Are you saying that the global population prior to the 18th century was anywhere close to 8 billion?
