 Uranus-Neptune Hard Aspects 19th and 20th Centuries

A sense of nationalism pervades 1822Uranus--Neptune1992

• ~1822-1825-(conjunction 00°)::post-Napolenic Wars, Europe returns to unworkable pre-war status quo;
  fight for Greek independence, also across South America
• ~1867-1872-(square 90°): spate of national unification:Canada, US,Italy, Germany, Austro-Hungary;
  Japan chooses Western-style governance
• ~1904-1912: Europe lurches  from one international crisis to another:
  • Moroccan Crisis
  • Russo-Japanese War
  • Triple Entente
  • Young Turk Revolution
  • Bosnia-Herzogovina annexed
  • Turko-Italian and Balkan Wars
• ~1952-1958-(square-270°): Suez CanalCrisis, French lose Algeria,Indo-China; Cold War escalates into nuclear conflict;
  European Union first formed; Korean War

If this sequence holds, we should expect events of similsr msgnitude in the lste 2030s and early 2040s. Aperfunctory guess would center around the shift to Asia, a reduction in US power and heavy stress in Europe to compete.. It is yet another reason  we should expect the 2040s to herald a half-century of uncertainty as nations choose new ways to deal with the realities of the 21st Century.
