Hopefully, Europe has learned its lesson. The way it was handled post-WW2 is pointing in the right direction.

WW2 was the direct result of that "historically consistent belligerence". Simplified history: lots of tension in Europe -> WW1 -> screw you Germany, we won -> Hitler: we are not having it! -> Germans: that's the guy we need! -> Oops -> WW2.

That why they did it differently post-WW2, focusing more on international collaboration (and a little indoctrination, you don't want to miss an opportunity do you?).

Also, Europe is not the center of the world anymore, they have better things to do than infighting.

History doesn't stop. Majority Muslim states in Europe might have different priorities.
