Were there places, like Ancient Athens, that had long periods without war, of course. But not the entire world. This question might be better suited for the forums/chats.

Jane's reference only covers the world scene since 1945.

To arrive at a proper answer, Kapuskasing needs to give us a definition of "war" for his question.

Well, after looking at some of the above referenced websites (thank you all for those), I'll wave the white flag here, declare a truce, flash a peace sign... and go back to the FunTrivia Global Challenge --- one that's less frought with minefields than the real-world Global Challenges.

(By the way, and I understand that this is not a discussion forum, but: Queproblema, I'm a she, not a he!)
