The Watch on the Rhine
Quoth Brad DeLong:
It is now 59 years and 9 months since an army crossed the Rhine River bearing fire and sword. This is the longest period of peace on the Rhine since the second century B.C.E., before the Cimbri and the Teutones appeared to challenge the armies of the consul Gaius Marius in the Rhone Valley.
For all that's going wrong in the world, it's good to know that something has gone right.
