Yes. The Second World War had a deathtoll about 60 times higher. (.3 is much more than I gave it credit for.)
Korean War probably more than 3 million.
Returning to smaller scale war is not an end of war. Nor even close to ending wars. Imperialism causes wider ranging wars is all, as whole networks of military apparatus are mobilised. Modern empires are more nebulous.
Edit: also, your WW2 figure is including civilians and acts of genocide. I think your Vietnamese figure is combatants only.
