My army of burly stranglers would still kill you and everyone else.

Now seriously, the world nowdays is much more peaceful than in the past. I mean, europeans are not killing themselves! Thats quite a feat already. Step by step, we are getting better.

I know that but "upgraded" weapons scale things up a lot. Strangling or beating to death is much more trouble than "bang bang".

One thing is for certain, if world peace were even possible (which it is not), it would not come from Europe. That bleak continent has been the proud home to over 80 wars. Here are a few examples:
1208-1217 Conquest of Estonia 1209-1229 Albigensian Crusade 1282-1302 War of the Sicilian Vespers 1296-1357 Wars of Scottish Independence 1337-1453 Hundred Years' War 1419-1434 Hussite Wars 1455-1487 Wars of the Roses 1522–1559 Habsburg-Valois Wars 1558-1583 Livonian War 1562-1598 French Wars of Religion 1568–1648 Eighty Years' War 1580-1583 War of the Portuguese Succession 1585-1604 Anglo-Spanish War (1585) 1594-1603 Nine Years War (Ireland) 1618–1648 Thirty Years' War 1640-1688 Portuguese Restoration War 1642–1651 English Civil War 1652-1674 Anglo-Dutch Wars 1667–1668 War of Devolution 1667–1683 Great Turkish War 1688-1697 War of the League of Augsburg 1700–1721 Great Northern War 1701–1713 War of the Spanish Succession 1718-1720 War of the Quadruple Alliance 1740–1748 War of the Austrian Succession 1756–1763 Seven Years' War 1789–1799 French Revolution 1792–1815 Napoleonic Wars 1830-1831 Polish-Russian war 1848-1851 First Schleswig War 1848–1866 Italian Independence wars 1854–1856 Crimean War 1864 Second Schleswig War 1864 January Uprising 1866–1866 Austro-Prussian War 1870–1871 Franco-Prussian War 1877–1878 Russo–Turkish War 1885 Serbo-Bulgarian War 1893–1896 Cod War of 1893 1897 First Greco–Turkish War 1911-1912 Italo-Turkish War 1912–1913 Balkan Wars 1914–1918 World War I 1916 Easter Rising 1917–1921 Russian Civil War 1918 Finnish Civil War 1918–1919 Polish-Ukrainian War 1918–1919 Greater Poland Uprising 1918–1920 Estonian Liberation War 1918-1920 Latvian War of Independence 1919–1920 Czechoslovakia-Hungary War 1919–1921 Silesian Uprisings 1919–1921 Polish-Soviet War 1919–1921 Anglo-Irish War 1920 Polish-Lithuanian War 1922–1923 Irish Civil War 1936–1939 Spanish Civil War 1939–1945 World War II 1939-1940 Winter War 1941-1944 Continuation War 1944 Slovak National Uprising 1946-1949 Greek Civil War 1956 Uprising in Poznan 1956 Soviet invasion of Hungary 1968 Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia 1969-1998 The Troubles of Northern Ireland 1988-1994 Nagorno-Karabakh War 1991-1992 War in South Ossetia 1991-1995 Croatian War of Independence 1992 War of Transnistria 1992-1998 First War in Abkhazia 1992-1995 Bosnian War 1994–1996 First Chechen War 1996-1999 First and Second Kosovo Wars 1998 Second War of Abkhazia 1999-Ongoing Second Chechen War 2001 2001 Macedonia conflict 2002-2007 Operation Enduring Freedom - Pankisi Gorge 2004 2004 unrest in Kosovo 2004 Adjara crisis 2008 War in South Ossetia
By way of comparison, North America has experienced a quarter of the amount of conflict Europe has, and many of those had direct ties to that continent. When you add to this glowing European reputation the wonderful experience native Africans and Indians had with European colonization, you have a pretty solid example of how not to conduct your affairs.

Well maybe the fact that you're 1 country and we're 1 continent with many different countries has something to do with it. One thing in our defense is that the war zones are shrinking and are limited to the former communist area, now former Soviet Union. We former Yugoslavian countries are done with it.

Actually, North America has 23 countries.

That is your only defense for fighting over eighty wars? That must be embarrassing.
