There's an awful lot to unpack here. Wars seem to 'speed things up'. For example the technological leaps linked to weapons production. But politics and the Wheel of History seem to spin faster. Life, moves up a gear or two. Maybe that's why war is so popular for our species. One of my acestors said that nothing, absolutely nothing in life, compared to taking part in a cavalry charge!
