Big nope for the latter part actually. The two leading countries aren't on the graph- Israel at 5.44% and South Korea at 4.81% in 2020, neither is known for their peaceful existence.

It was obviously a generalised comment. Even so, SK is clearly war free for all intents and purposes. Israel is a hot mess that is an exception but even there the average person can go about their lives with barely more consideration than the west had during terror attacks.

I think that the US and Europe have been more at war than most of Latin America during the past century, right?
