This is also a point that I've made repeatedly - the major wars of the 20th century exposed behavior in the elites that the elites don't want to admit.

The brutal trench warfare in WW1, after the Christmas Truce and all of that first set the stage. Then WW2 with the massacres, bombing, all of it.

This is why I say international communism is the elite's way out of this. "If there are no more nations, I'll have no reason to do that stuff again"
