Definitions      
  D Duration Length in years
  E Extent Number of Powers involved
  ML Magnitude Number of nation-years
  S Severity Number of battle-connected deaths of military personnel only
  I Intensity Number of battle deaths per million European population
  C Concentration Number of battle deaths per nation-year
* Since the definition of Intensity involves the population of Europe, this measure is impractical for the American Civil War. Therefore, the Severity of the American Civil War was calculated on the basis of an American population of 31,000,000.
** The definitions of Extent, Magnitude, and Concentration depend on the number of nations involved. Therefore, the value of these parameters depends on whether you consider the Confederate States to have been a separate nation at the time of the American Civil War, or whether you consider the United States to have been a single nation. This war was not included in Table 4.1 of Levy, 1983. It was included in this table by the author/webmaster.
