Sirois - Conflicts Worldwide Research

Here are some general sites about current/recent conflicts around the world. I'll add more as I find them.

Flashpoints: Guide to World Conflicts : Search by country, issue, or updates. Has not, apparently, been updated since 2006 but there is enough good information here to identify several recent conflicts.

New and Recent Conflicts of the World
: Created by the "History Guy," this is actually a comprehensive and well-maintained site with a lot of information and links. Check out the history guy's blog, which is updated frequently. The "history guy" is Roger Lee, history teacher at West Auburn High School in Washington.

U.S. Department of State Background Notes : Excellent statistics and detailed descriptions of nations.

Library of Congress Country Studies : Probably the best resource for in-depth analysis of countries

Institute for War and Peace Reporting : Interesting site whose mission is to "Build peace and democracy through free and fair media."

BBC : One Day of War : Outstanding source for much information about conflicts around the world. Use the "clickable map" to find conflicts worldwide.
