I was all ready to remove Pax Americana and then I discover it\\\'s an actual thing? And a really really stupid thing \\\"Pax Americana an appellation applied to the historical concept of relative peace in the Western hemisphere... from the start of the 20th century\\\"... it is applied to the time inbetween the 2 World Wars...

WTH? The whole world and most of Europe is plunged into war twice and inbetween basically rests for a couple of years so it can fight again and that counts as American guided peace? This is basically just \\\"well Canada didn\\\'t invade us during this time\\\" considering the rest of the 50 years involved the USA and Russia starting bloody and nasty wars. I guess the USSR didn\\\'t invade Europe?

I know Pax Romania was a thing, and I know Pax Brittania was a thing, but those were countries with actual empires that at least brought stability to countries not in your empire. Canada doesn\\\'t count and getting half of Europe taken over by Russia doesn\\\'t count as bringing peace

EDIT: I forgot the Yugoslav war. So it literally is. North America didn\\\'t get invaded and the USA didn\\\'t declare war on itself.
