You are usually told a story of a peaceful Europe from 1815 to 1914.
Franco Prussian War, no big whoop.
Russo Japanese War, nothing.
American Civil War.
Taiping Rebellion and Civil War, a drop in the bucket.
Boer War, a nothing.
Wars and revolution in Italy, forget about them!
It is the sleep of reason, the peace of the Whig historian.
