skipped an archetype like time before last?

[Tim Randal Walker]

I recall making a distinction between Unifying 4Ts, and Fracturing 4Ts. The USA had a unifying experience during WWII, and obviously a fracturing experience during the Civil War. England had a Unifying experience with the Spanish Armada, and a Fracturing experience with the War of the Roses.

So the USA is now experiencing a Fracturing period, but so far, an unusually mild period compared to most 4Ts.
