Inside Geopolitics presents a timeline of armed conflict deaths (state and non-state) in Mexico between 2000 – 2019.
The project relies on the data from the Uppsala Conflict Data Program (UCDP), adopting its definition of an organized violence event: “The incidence of the use of armed force by an organized actor against another organized actor, or against civilians, resulting in at least 1 direct death in either the best, low or high estimate categories at a specific location and for a specific temporal duration.”

NOTE: Conflicts with fewer than 25 fatalities are not individually displayed in the video (those deaths, however, are still added to the total).
For the sake of accuracy and consistency, this video doesn’t feature homicide totals in Mexico. To read more about those numbers, click here.
