I think that the effect is going in the opposite direction:
As societies become more civilised (and thus more technologically advanced
and richer) there is less competition for resources and less need for
agressive behaviour.
Interesting factoid (unsubstantiated): No country with a MacDonalds in it
has ever declared war with another country with a MacDonalds in it.
Draw your own conclusions.
Personally I think Macdonalds is behind the global conspiracy.
