They also have found that wars and mass murders follow the statistics of disease epidemiology in terms of infection, spread, and resolution. Wars and genocides are meme diseases: they infect, spread, and are processed by populations after mass casualties, creating periods of temporary peace and partial immunity until the next one.

That was no period of peace. Mass deaths occurred with Italy attacking Ethiopia, Japan invading Manchuria, Chinese civil war, the Holodomor, and Stalin's mass purges.
