You could make a strong case that the second world war came close though.
We've never seen warfare on that scale before, where one group of allies is fighting another, the closest is Ukraine, where two countries each have allies supplying weapons and other supplies.
Chinese Civil War pII?
Korean War?
Vietnam War?
Tap for spoiler
and Secret War and Third Sino-Vietnamese War?6 Day War?
Somalian Civil War?
Nigerian Civil War?
Yemeni Civil War?
We have dubbed this span since 1945 "the long peace" which largely this refers to there not being 2 or more wealthy nations in a hot war since the end of WW2. It's been proxy wars pitting poorer nations against each other - armed by rich nations, and wealthy nations going to war with poorer nations. (Poorer nations going to war and civil wars nonwithstanding because they do not impact global politics)
That was more my point.
Exporting the death and suffering to far off parts of the world and calling it world peace. The only difference with Ukraine is it is closer to home, for most of the G7 anyhow.
