Do I get it right that the concept of violence is reduced to the concept of "official" war between nations? Why? How about murder and violent crime? One is selling death in wholesale, the other in retail, but it can add up. For example Albania was not involved in many official wars but the death rate from clan feuds was so high that it was affecting gender roles.
Or how about the threat of violence to keep people under control?
That does not seem to change much throughout history.
