There are only two countries in the world that Western Europe hates enough to wage war against:
The United States and Israel.
Thanks for the reference to Vercingetorix.
I went to Wikipedia and read a long summary of the Siege of Alesia.
In the 1960’s I translated large segments of that battle from the original Latin in “The Gallic Wars.”

There will never again be another major war in Europe; their economies are too interconnected, the cost would be too great.

Europe is too dependent on Russia’s natural gas to do anything.
