The world is on edge. The tremors of war crises that unfold in the Middle East, Ukraine, and perhaps soon in Taiwan, where China eagerly awaits the right moment to claim the island. Taiwan was part of the Japanese Empire from 1895 to September 1945, then of the Republic of China which, in 1949, gave way on the mainland to the People's Republic of China. The most violent historical conflicts often lack humanity but are rooted in historical contexts. Everyone interprets their truth in the light of this history and the shared narratives that have become national tales.

The people suffer first and foremost, desiring peace as they are on the front lines. Yet, "regional wars" are proliferating.

Some geopolitical experts believe the world is on the brink of ignition: not into a third world war, but into a "globalized war" characterized by a series of "regional conflicts." Economic globalization and the collapse of the "USA/USSR bipolarity" have led to both a leadership vacuum and an overflow of emerging "power poles." Because the very nature of power abhors a vacuum of strong leaderships. Gaza Strip, Ukraine, Armenia, Yemen — the suffering continues relentlessly. There is something worse than horror: the repetition of horror.
