After WW2 violence and war casualties count is declining exponentially. It's happening first time in our history, so im optimistic yeah. also wealth even in third world countries is going up (also first time in history such a grow).
Actually, no, and no.
Global background war casualties rate during time of no major war (like WWII, WWI, Napoleonic war and thirty years war) as measured By war casualties per hundred thousand global population has been higher in the 1945 - 2010 period than any other time since the year 1400. The increase in wealth in bulk of the third world is but primarily an artifact of the a natural catching of a portion of the world that had historically been the most developed and wealthiest part of the world for three quarter of the last 2000 years. Parts that were always poor in the last 2000 years either has been completely suppressed by conquest, or remains poor. Yet Brexit, trump, the disintegration of western alliance and global trade framework foretell even such institutions and outlooks as have prevented the last 70 years from being even worse is unraveling.
