Any forced displacement of people is tragic. But 1. This is over 20 years, and the conflicts of the 20th C lasted 4-7 years at most. 2. To “except WWII” from comparisons of 20th C conflicts is disingenuous. 40M refugees in Europe alone. In a 7 year war. I’d guess the Asian population displacement, that gets less exposure in the US, would be at least another 40M (surprisingly hard to find a number in a cursory search). https://refugeesandwar.wordpress.com/world-war-ii/ https://refugeesandwar.wordpress.com/world-war-ii/ WWII was a very big deal. 3. Not normalizing to world population at the time of the other conflicts is also disingenuous. Another factor of three, when comparing WWI world pop figures to today. So, that argues for about a factor of ten adjustment down for comparison purposes and, no, you can’t ignore WWII. Having the raw numbers by country for post-9/11 conflicts available from this paper is a real contribution.
