> American history tends to move in 80 year cycles divided into two forty year periods or so

~80 years ago was World War 2.

~80 years before that was the US Civil War.

~80 years before that was the American Revolution.

I'm hoping this time around will be a little more boring. The previous events look like a little too much excitement for my taste.

Amazingly and coincidentally enough, when was the last time you had a president where you were actually worried a multi-regional war might start?
