The quantitative view is an attempt to define war based on quantitative data which is possible to make a distinction between violent action and war. War can be defined as a threshold since the number deaths is over 1000. Accordingly , a specific criterion which is based on size, preparation and legitimation was formed to define such events as war. This definition excludes, unplanned, unorganized and nonlegitimized conflicts, such as riots, but on the other hand it includes large-scale civil wars which are ignored
in the political perspective.
