 ===Motivation===
 These data illustrate the dynamic fluctuation of life expectancy, income and population size of 180 nations between 1800 and 2009. Note that data prior to 1950 is sparse and there are many missing values in this complex dataset. Missing records can be ignored, interpolated or imputed to obtain quantitative analyses or exploratory data plots.

-Does Trade Promote Peace? Trading activities among countries may help build and maintain international relationships, and hence promote peace. The rationale behind this phenomenon is that countries that are trading partners tend to maintain peace between each other, which makes intuitive sense. This SOCR dataset provides information useful in examining this topic empirically.
