I'm assuming those minor wars don't count here for the same reason els isn't counting things like the Korean and Vietnam wars, the various wars in the Middle East, or the civil wars associated with the War on Drugs.
Edit: Oh yes, also the various de/post-colonial wars, the wars in the Congo, etc.
I think you're confusing "it was a peaceful and VERY successful century for Great Britain" with "it was the time of peace in the world".
It was about as peaceful as the current time.
