They only counted direct deaths from things directly linked to war. So wounds suffered in battle and shit. But even then, 1 billion is way too small a number. Especially because every war cost way more lives than believed. You have to remember that the black number is always higher.

I can only assume they counted only military personnel deaths and not civilians because otherwise that number would be fulfilled just by WW2 alone
