When Order Crumbles: The Fragile Architecture of Peace
A quarter of Central Europe's population-gone. Not in a single catastrophic event, but ground down over thirty brutal years of religious warfare that left some regions with barely 40% of their original inhabitants. The survivors of the Thirty Years' War gathered in 1648, exhausted and traumatized, to forge something unprecedented: a system where states with fundamentally different beliefs could coexist without annihilating each other. This wasn't idealism-it was survival. The Westphalian system they created gave us sovereign states, diplomatic immunity, and the radical idea that nations could disagree without resorting to total war. For centuries, this framework held. Today, as conflicts rage from Ukraine to Gaza, we're witnessing what happens when this carefully constructed order begins to fracture. The question isn't whether Kissinger's analysis matters-it's whether we'll heed its warnings before history repeats itself.
