I don’t think war is a useful comparison. Americans at the median don’t kill each other much more than Europeans, it’s the fact that we have sub populations with huge homicide rates that drags up the average.
In Europe there are populations within countries with very high murder rates
For example the gypsies (Romany) per capita homicide rate in Finland is 25 per 100k. This is approaching African American levels.
