World Peace: Fumbling toward a shadow of a dream
It is part of the monumental arrogance of white people in certain parts of the globe that two major conflicts during the last century are known as a "World War", with dates and locations of beginnings and endings involving mostly "Western" criteria.
World War one actually began in 1848 and WWII actually began in 1905.
It just took uninquiring minds a long time to realize that anything
they needed to pay attention to was actually going on.
It is also part of the arrogance of WPICPOTG to assume that
their "peace" is significant, while the "unrest" in non-white
parts of the globe is negligible.
While the Japanese Empire was goofing around in Manchuria and
pretty much doing what it pleased along the Pacific Rim for
almost thirty years before the beginnings of "WWII", the
WPICPOTG didn't really care until it began to mess with colonies
and ports that had "white" populations in them.
Naval "disarmament" treaties signed after the Japanese Navy pretty much
kicked the stuffing out of the Imperial Russian fleet led to
"tonnage" agreements between the Japanese, the Americans, the
British, and the French.
I don't remember how Germany fit in or whether anyone bothered
to talk to Spain.
