Historical Cycles of Wars and Governance Struggles
Throughout history, a cyclical pattern emerges where wars occur every 56 years, leading to major hegemonic conflicts every 112 years. This cycle can be traced back to conflicts like the Franco-Spanish wars and the Napoleonic wars. The current cycle points towards the 2022 Russia invasion as part of an ongoing conflict. At the core of these conflicts lies the age-old struggle between hierarchical leadership and democratic governance. Hierarchies such as autocracies in Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea are contrasted with democratic systems rooted in self-responsibility and active participation. This battle between governing systems has persisted for centuries, with smaller populations demonstrating efficiency in democratic structures, while hierarchy tends to dominate in larger populations.
