Man has become far more violent and ugly between the end of WW1 and his death.
We also have the capability to kill in greater numbers in a hurry.

I still disagree with mostly everything except your last sentence there. Western society in particular has become much more tolerant and less violent than the days of colonialism. There will always be conflict in the world, and yes there are greater methods of destruction nowadays, but I think society as a whole is much more enlightened than it was in the early part of the 20th century.
