    I know it's the Mail.

    I know I'm going to regret saying this but..

    War is the default situation in Europe.Peace has broken out for a period as long as we have experienced only once, from the end of the Napoleonic wars to the Franco Prussian war.


    So it's not as remote a possibility as some people think.

    It's obviously a bad prediction of what would happen. As if the French are ever going to win a war.

    "Aided by Spanish and Italian auxiliaries, backed by German money and quietly supported by neo-imperialist Russia, the French army has encircled our expeditionary force on the other side of the Channel and cut it
    to shreds."


    Bad Europe!!

    Europe has worked in that regard, for centuries we have been at each others throats. I venture to say, apart from Yugoslavia (which was a civil war) these 66 years since WW2 is the longest time Europe was ever at peace since the Roman empire. (not sure about that).

    Thats definitely true. Stephen Pinker calls it the long peace. In general there were major European wars every generation until 1870, when peace reigned until 1914. We know what happened then.

    The article is ok - it is designed to shock, as all counter factual histories are. I discount Europe going to war in the West, but not the anti-capitalist terrorism. Unless Europe get to be run for its citizenry in future, rather than the banks or bondholders, thats inevitable.

    True, ask you Polish friends. I see nothing to stop Russia getting back some territory in the next 20 years. Europe is poor, and largely dis-armed.
