Perhaps its a theory done before; I am just a casual student of generational theory. The consideration is that there are pendulums alternating between hot and cold war, internal and external conflicts. I am not talking about the Soviet-US Cold war which may be part of another cycle.
Current Crisis here in US - Internal Cold War
World War 2 - External Hot War
American Civil War - Internal Hot War
Revolutionary War - External Cold War (if viewed as a proxy battle between England and France)
Glorious Revolution - Internal Cold War (yes there were some battles)
Armada Crisis - External Hot War (England and Spain)
War of the Roses - Internal Hot War (between the houses)
Thats about all I have got into it.
-- l wouldn't call the Revoultion cold or external.There definitely were battles, & altho we don't think of it that way it was a civil war between the Patriots who wanted to, ahem, Brexit & the Tories who did not. Yes each side had European back up, but it was still a civil war. Like Vietnam in the 60s. That was a civil war. We were interfereing in it but it was still a civil war
