but if I was coming up with a heuristic I'd probably look at tech level over time (ie, third-world or first-world devastated into third-world conditions -> more deaths)

germany and russia both lost like 10-15% of pop in WWII, though it's hard to judge how much is infrastructural failure and how much the infamous barbarism of the eastern front
-
deadliest post-WWII was the second congo war I think. quick googling they probably lost 10% of their pop, mostly starvation and disease

but this really isn't all that much compared to like, the thirty years war, which wiped out 20%+ of the holy roman empire
-
an lushan rebellion is reputed to have been the worst by percentage but there's controversy over whether it was more that the census machinery broke down, but easily many millions
-
more campaigns than mere wars but it's hard to think of anything rivaling the brutality of the mongol conquests or the muslim invasion of india
