The Last Death Of WWI I Can Find Information On Was In 2014, Although There Could Be A More Recent One.
The last death of WWI I can find information on was in 2014, although there could be a more recent one. 2 Belgian construction workers were killed by a shell around march of that year.
The problem with WWI in particular is that they sat for four years on roughly the same lines, the shells were often duds (1 in 4 to 1 in 3), and 1.5 billion were fired on the western front alone. In addition to that you have the possibility of gas shells which are still very dangerous if the gas gets released. There are some areas of France and Belgium where 99% of plants will die.
And then there are all the other conflicts and the later you go the worse it tends to get, with mines and cluster munitions.
So, uh, yeah. War is bad but you probably didn't need me to tell you that. Some estimates say it will take 300-700 years to clear out the WWI battlefields.

Playing Dwarf Fortress, I think dwarves might actually be able to make communism work. Pretty much all of them like their job, they're able to handle autonomy of taking resources when they need them with very little to no issues, and they are fine with working for the good of the Fortress rather than personal gain (even in pretty bad conditions).
In fact, they are kind of practicing it already. They don't really use money and private ownership is pretty low. The only thing really left to do is get rid of or never instate the nobility and go on a communist revolution of the rest of the kingdom.
I see a lot about how peppers are upset because humans eat them for the thing that was supposed to prevent them from doing that, but capsaicin was supposed to help pepper seeds propagate since mammals couldn't propagate them, and we cultivate pepers on a massive scale because of the capsaicin. So I think that it was a net win for the pepper and the capsaicin did it's job, just in an unexpected way. Like, yeah, task failed in stopping mammals from eating you, but you did manage to become wildly successful because a particular group of mammals like the capsaicin.
