The returns to warfare changed significantly with the Industrial Revolution. Greater economic growth is now possible in times of peace rather than war.

The Paradox game Victoria 2 does a good job simulating this dynamic. Highest score is possible by sitting out ww2. https://acoup.blog/2021/08/20/collections-teaching-paradox-v... Is a nice write up.

But that doesn't stop various dictators from making war.
