As for peace: Someone tell me when there has been peace. Ever.

Peace is common as dirt. Most of history is peace, even in the supposedly
violent and warlike periods.

There's just never been universal peace.

Peace doesn't make interesting history so there is less written about it.

There has never been peace. There have been periods of no war (or
low-level war such as the 'cold war') while threats of war and preparation
for war were taking place. I'll try a different question. Someone tell
me of a people who have never been prepared for war. Ever.
