Description: The data were compiled as part of the investigators' study dealing with the dynamics of conflict and warfare and the role of national growth and expansion in that process. The annual aggregate data compiled are in 8 categories: national size, colonial size, economic and productivity profile, commercial activity, government budget, alliances, violence, and conflicts of interest. The first 6 categories are aggregate data compiled from yearbooks and other historical sources. One of the alliance measures, adversary relationship, is a dummy variable coded "1" if nation was not aligned, "0" if aligned. Variables in the last two categories are derived from subjective scaling procedures.
