Yeah it is just too similar with a little bit of the wording changed and some additional pictures.
This is not a spun article. It is a source which I have taken the information. And everyone does it.
Not everyone. It is customary on Steemit to provide the source of original article, which you did not do. All you did is shortened the whole article, rewriting it by replacing words with synonyms.
See. If I search I will get 20 deadliest war too. I have given only 5 deadliest war. There were many war in history. It doesn't mater Source I can give.
You have simple abandoned 5 last examples of wars from this article. Probably to make your post shorter and spend too much effort. The wars you mentioned are exactly in the same first 5 wars mentioned as in original article. In exactly the same order.
Anyway, you admitted above that it was the source. It seems that you intentionally skipped providing the source of that article, while you made an effort to provide sources to all the pictures.
I can write about 20 deadliest war or 10 deadliest war or only 1. It's up to me.
There are many articles of different numbers of deadliest war. I just mentioned 5 deadliest wars.

These list are a tough thing because I can kind of see both sides of it. Yeah it might be factual but the wording is so similar to that article in the link that it sort of crosses the line. It is hard to site everything especially if it is some Meme or something floating around online but I have noticed that the stuff that has gotten me the furthest on here is all original and actually has unique pictures that can't really be duplicated and there is no question that the content came from me.
I am coming from seo world. I know what is plagiarism. But I have given the source and tried to change the sentences, though it looks like same.

Exactly well said we dont want all this blood.
But, the fact is something else. It will go on forever.
This article is a spun.
Good list, I didn't know about the older Chinese wars.
We don't know many things that are hidden in human history of the world.
