Pax Americana, like Pax Britannica before it. Wonder how much longer that can hold?

Between "Pax X" and "Pax Y", there's often a war. The war leaves X weakened to the point that they can't enforce "Pax X" any more. Pax Americana ending probably won't just be because Pax China peacefully superseded it.
