You brought up the 70’s and I then shared 1971. I didn’t initially bring up the 70’s. Throughout history, wars have been sustained (flourished) through currency debasement and debt issuance. Conflict and war has started for any number of reasons regardless of underlying systems of government. Just clarifying a few things, as I think my initial statement (which you agree is true) stands, with lots of room for expansion and nuance, which I think you’re providing.
