This visualization was first drafted in Tableau and later finalize in D3. It is a representation of the world that shows a colored density for the total number of individuals killed in each country between the year 1970 and 2019. The legend in this updated version is more specific and gives better insight to the total number of killings as the countries showed great variation e.g. Belgium a total of 83 deaths and Iraq 81,019. Furthermore, it also gives the opportunity to hover across the countries and shows the country name and the total deaths due to terror attacks. The map shows that the following top 3 countries in total death by terror attacks.
- Iraq
- Afghanistan
- Pakistan
The d3 graph was implemented in a tableau dashboard , for the use of the interactivity of the graph one may visit the tableau dashboard or a quick view in the codepen edition beneath.
The same procedure was taken for the choropleth graph of the total number of attacks between 1970-2019. Again the top 3 countries can be found.
