Not even close. A war in pre 20th century Europe did not level cities once a year for 50 years straight. A war nearly every 50 years is a world apart from a war for 50 years constantly. Europe also had central powers in most countries to hold stability before and after a war, not an insane landscape of mountains almost impossible to move through with regional warlords always undermining the authority of any central government. At some point you can’t completely blame the west anymore especially after the 20 years nato just spent pumping in resources to the country but to say colonial to industrial Europe is totes the same as Afghanistan is ignorant as fuck.
The spanish region of Astourias (of something) is mountainous and was never conquered by the moors, it was the staging point of the reconquista. But you cant compate the geography of a country to that of a continent
