So it was precedented before? When has there been equally little wars, equally much prosperity and cooperation (measured relative to the state of civilization at the time)? Considering what an unfriendly place the world has been in the past centuries (diseases, terrible working conditions, decade-long wars) this is not an unreasonable statement to make. These things still exist, but certainly less pronounced when averaged over time and space.
