The 1909 book by Norman Angall postulated that war was a thing of the past. The argument being that economies had become so engrained that the cost to go to war between countries was too expensive. If countries were to be driven to war, the costs would keep wars super short.

5 years before WWI.

Let's wait to see how War of the Worlds turns out before we go deciding on a GOAT jinx.

Neville Chamberlain's 1938 quote of "We will have peace in our time" has got to be up there.
