Talk:List of periods of regional peace

Comments
Japan enjoyed a period of relative peace during the Sakoku period from 1600 to the mid-19th century, also called the Pax Tokugawa.222.253.72.205 (talk) 15:17, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, but this is a listing of articles. There is no "Pax Tokugawa" article, regardless of whether there was a period of peace or not. Plus, you require to provide WP:RELIABLE SOURCES to prove that the term has been used in academic documents before, as per WP:MADEUP; rules is rules. Have you got any evidence to show that the exact phrase has been used before in an official academic study? Note that the WP:BURDEN of evidence is on you. --  李博杰   | —Talk contribs email 05:25, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Why peace?
Well, why not?! Actually some material that compares all the empire-related pax periods might be used to find common denominators might be appropriate here.

Also I wonder if "regional" and "empire-based" are the same. Surely there has been regional peace without empires.--John Bessa (talk) 20:55, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Priority of Rome
Since this is a phrase originating in classical Roman self-awareness (Pax Romana), and all the others are modelled on that, should Rome not be at the top, and highlighted as the original? Also, do note that although restrospectively we may see these as periods, at the time the periodization was not the point. An ancient Roman bragging about the Pax Romana was thinking about the size and scope and pacifying influence of the empire, not the time-span in which he was living. Not sure whether that needs to be spelled out in the article, but do avoid prioritizing periodization and losing sight of power claims. Doric Loon (talk) 08:43, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
