This applies to all the world. Before Hispanic conquerors, in America the wars were extremely gore, with things like pyramids of heads(The conquerors wrote about them , but archaeological evidence had been found recently), skinning and scalping the of enemies, human sacrifices.
The wars in North America were not less violent, with everyone carrying a rifle, people using them to hunt Indians from the train, and the eventual extermination of almost the entire native population.
Africa? When has Africa been peaceful? I helped refugees in Europe from recent wars in places like Congo or Central African Republic where kids are given automatic guns and enforced to kill and rape their family members. That is happening today in Africa and nobody cares.
Asia? Most of what you call violence in Europe actually came from Asia. The Huns, the Parthians, the Mongols, the Arabs, the Turks, all came from Asia, mostly from the central plains.
China history is full of violence in order to unify the territory. They also suffered from invasions like the Mongols, the Manchus and the piracy of the Japanese.
