Are there any cities in the history of the world that have enjoyed more than a thousand years of continuous peace ever? Has the world changed enough in the last couple centuries that we can expect any of our current cities to enjoy such peace?
I should mention this is just an idle thought. I'm just thinking of all the major cities of Europe, China, Russia, and Africa seem like they've been attacked at one point or another, and the Americas/Australia haven't had cities long enough to qualify, with the exception of some Native American cultures, who certainly fought plenty of wars themselves.
