What you're suggesting is an incorrect interpretation of generational
theory. You're assuming that the event triggering a war is just some
social issue. But that wouldn't be a regeneracy event. By
definition, the regeneracy regenerates civic unity for the first time
since the end of the preceding crisis war, and a social event would
not regenerate civic unity. Regeneracy events like bombing Pearl
Harbor and the Bataan Death March were not a social events, and so they
regenerated civic unity.
