We had several hundred years of a multipolar world when Europe ran the show. It was know for diplomacy, yes, but not for peace.

Well we have progressed since then a little, don't you think? What used to be solved by force is now solved by diplomacy more often. And large scale wars are less likely because of nukes. Otherwise we are going to a dictatorship on international scale. Fuck that

That transition happened at basically the precise point the world transitioned from a multipolar situation to a bipolar one.

I'm not saying bipolarity brought peace, but there's hardly any evidence that we've gotten any better at multipolar situations.
