Europe is in denial about war — and that’s how wars start

Stéphane Audoin-Rouzeau's book "Notre déni de guerre" explores the relevance of World War I lessons for contemporary Europe, emphasizing a growing denial of the potential for conflict. He argues that prolonged peace has led Europeans to misunderstand the nature of war, making them ill-prepared for its resurgence. Audoin-Rouzeau warns that while many Europeans believe peace is guaranteed by non-aggression, global realities differ, with some regions still operating under wartime logic.
