”WhatifAlthist” | World History, Philosophy, Culture
The post-WWII peace is an ILLUSION—just like every other "permanent peace" throughout history. All great peaceful periods (Pax Romana, 19th century) were maintained by empires with overwhelming violence capability. As America weakens, wars are already erupting globally. Today's institutions are crumbling dams about to break. This episode examines 10 potential conflict scenarios likely to emerge in the next 25 years as our temporary peace inevitably reverts to history's violent norm.
