All of which were tiny compared to the Napoleonic era in terms of their devastation and most of which came in the latter half of the century.

The Napoleonic settlement did create a sustained period of greater peace for the descendents of the participants.

Franco-Prussian war has around a million dead, that's a 3rd to 6th of all the Napoleonic wars. If Prussia didn't kick Frances so hard if would've been much worse, to say its "tiny" is an insult to the people involved.

To my knowledge the Franco-prussian war has nowhere close to a million dead. Military deaths are estimated to sit around 160,000-200,000, and even if you lump in all the civilian deaths and deaths from incidental harms like epidemic illness, it barely cracks 500,000.
