More generally, this goes back at least 200 years (ie, to the 19th
century) and quite likely before.

 200 years ago would be 1824 which was dominated by 1789-1815 (e.g. the
Napoleonic wars) and relatively quiet at least till Prussia's wars
1864-1871.

You forget the US War of 1812 when the British Empire tried
to get back the former colonies and some of the Former Colonies tried
fruitlessly to annex Canada. Andrew Jackson's perfomance there in led
to the Presidency of the USA. He was a populist too which why he caused
the Trail of Tears of the Cherokee People.

 On the other hand my 2 year old granddaughter has a pretty good chance
of seeing the 22nd Century :) (Me not so much)

I hope she has a better and more peaceful century than the
one we left behind in the 20t hand the beginning of the 21st. I won't be
around for the 22nd Century myself (barring SF-like Medical Advances).
