Well, war, famine and pestilence has been an unholy trinity since forever, with direct military actions having actually the smallest body count of the three.
IIRC - the First World War (1914-1918) was the first big conflict that killed more people with bombs and guns than through hunger and disease.
Our ancestors would count disease deaths that happened during the war towards the total death toll.
