No that's not true. You're thinking of a non-crisis war. A
generational crisis war like WW II is a fight to the death, and does
not end in any sort of compromise or settlement. It requires an
"explosive climax," something so horrific that it stops both losers
and winners from fighting further, makes them vow to spend their whole
lives making sure it doesn't happen again. WW II could not end before
such events as the firebombing of Dresden, the fall of Berlin, and the
nuking of Japan.
"the facts show that ... probably" -- what weasel words -- can I call
you a stand-up comedian yet?
