To a certain extent yes, dependant on when the next world war will be. Aslong as the errors, harship and negativity that previous wars have demonstrated are not forgotten. However the human instinct is to fight, so if the next, for example, world war is in one hundred years and the lessons learnt from previous times are pushed to the past, then human instinct might dominate over experience. Therefore it is uncertain to say.
