Translation:

"The revolution and the liberation of women go together. We do not speak of women’s emancipation as an act of charity or because of a wave of human compassion. It is a basic necessity for the triumph of the revolution.”

— Thomas Sankara

More than 50 million people died from World War II. (Urlanis, page 292.) I don’t think the wars since then reach 50 million. The highest estimate for the 2nd Indochina War is 4 1/4 million.

So in relative terms it’s a lot closer to peace than to the World Wars.
