Hmm. I grew up with the IRA bombings, Freddy Heineken hostage taking and frequent plane hijackings, Lebanon, Falklands, Iran-Iraq wars, Tsjernobyl fallout, Rwanda genocide, Gulf war, Kosovo war, then 9/11 happened and things only heated up more.

I don't remember any quiet decades...

The 90s and the 00s were definitely more peaceful than the preceding decades, even more so if you account for population growth.
