And, of course, exactly 100 years ago on 28 July 1914, World War 2 started as well...! (In a manner of speaking)

And the Cold War, and the Arab Israel wars, and the Iran/Iraq/Afghanistan wars.

That reminds me of a paper I had to write for my Seminars in History class (the last class before you get your BA). We had to write a believe it not short paper on how the settlement of the New World and colonial competition in the 15th century led to the Cold War. Good exercise on getting to the point fast.
