Ideas and Concepts:

Redefinition of 20th century war periods, via tonight's World History Since 1300 course:

"While we commonly understand that war was over in 1918, the end of the First World War only brought competing tension and disequilibrium to a head. The peace of 1918/19 didn't create a durable peace at all, as its architects sought out. The tension would persist until well into 1945.

In fact, the period of world history between 1914 and 1945 could better be thought of as a Thirty Years War with pauses and truces throughout.

Especially when you look at Asia during this period, war was much more common than peace. This epic of history increased the contentions of the old imperial systems to a climax until they finally more or less expired, with a human toll that the planet had never seen before, and would never see again."
