I have a very strong sense (from reading contemporary accounts) that “the world ended in 1914” and also that “the new world began in 1945” and that “the 1945-present world is in decline”

Map this roughly to “the British Empire & European balance-of-power”, and “American hegemony and the nuclear age”
