As far as I can find, the military casualties of the (decade-long) Napoleonic wars were around 3 million.
The Crimean war caused close to 1 million casualties in 3 years.

The war involved Second French Empire, British Empire, Russian Empire and the Ottoman Empire.
Perhaps there are other examples of major wars, but this one seems significant.
EDIT: Outside of Europe, consider the Taiping Rebellion, with the highest deaths estimates at 30 million (or even higher!). The British and French got involved as well.
