No thinking person falls into the trap of yearning for "peace".
Life is struggle, struggle leads to progress.
"Peace" is stagnation, stagnation leads to death.
In the 400 years between 1400 and 1800 Italy had continual wars, and rebellions, it lead the Renaissance and produced about half of the worlds great artists,and sculptors, it produced Da Vinci, the original "Most interesting man in the world" ( the original "Renaissance man" ) and what would become the oldest gun company, and the oldest family owned business in history.
During that same period Switzerland had peace, they produced chocolate and the cuckoo clock.
