It seems like a cycle. Peace --> war --> new world order --> peace.
Also, there's probably correlation between wealth inequality and war. Wealth inequality leads to radical leaders which can lead to wars.

I think the cycle is because people forget how destructive war is for all sides, how much human wealth is thrown away in order to achieve enormous human misery. If it's happened in recent memory, people are reluctant to let those who think they might benefit from it to pursue it. The more time that passes, the easier it is to distract people from the misery and the easier it is to persuade people that it's justified.
