Yes, the data has been argued to show that human history has had two major trends: First, that the further back you go humanity becomes increasingly and unrecognizable violent, second, that the further up you go humanity becomes increasingly more progressive. And so, a good example of the two would be to contrast the Dark Ages with the Enlightened.
Sorry, but that’s not the case at all. Without scratching my brain, I can think of at least five major wars that occurred during the Enlightenment (including your own Revolution).
