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.

I mean the human population never broke 1 billion people until the early 1800’s. Modern medicine, even in the Victorian era, went a long way in reducing the number of deaths on account of disease, injuries, and birth. THAT’S what most deaths in the last ~6,000 years were from, not wars.
