World war 2 was driven by authoritarian invasions caused by germany, russia and japan. Nothing to do with democracies.Probably worth pointing out that western societies, especially democracies were not exactly a peaceful system in the early 20th century. There were a couple of World Wars which suggest the myth that Indigenous people were at war more than western societies who brought peace are a bit ill-conceived.
World war 1 you have some point but the culture that drove support for war back then was very much driven by pre democratic values of serving your kings and honoring the nation over the individual.
what does any of this have to do with examining hunter gatherer cultures compared to modern cultures on violence rates? Most violence doesnt come from war.
