Military spending around the western world was in line with what we have today (single digit %) before Nazis started the arms race. This sense of increased morality was also present around WW2. German jew hatred was never a secret, yet few anticipated the scale what was coming. And even after the war it wasn't until the 70s before the horrors of the Holocaust really entered common public awareness. Some of that perception today is a result of censorship too. While most realize China is persecuting the Falun Gong few realize it goes into a million with a significant percentage murdered. And now China seems to be doing a similar thing with Muslims, albeit no reports of mass murder yet. If we go to war with China I'm sure this information will go from relatively embargoed to an important element of justifying the conflict.
