#2 In 1810, the Mexican War of Independence had between 200,000-500,000 killed in 11 years.

In 1910, the Mexican Civil War had between 500,000 and 2,000,000 killed in 10 years.

So far, in four years, the Mexican Drug War has only claimed 40,000 or so. But much like the Mexican Civil War, in its early stages with many bandito gangs, the violence was limited. It only got legs once the semi-finals were over and the major players, like Poncho Villa, emerged. Then the bloodbath began in earnest.
