Past performance does not guarantee future returns. One could say something similar about the 50 year period ending in 1910. WWI, WWII, Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot really skew the average.

If you look at the death toll in proportion to the population at that time, even that 50 year period will be less bloody than some others in the past.
