No. We have not learned anything.
Cavemen fought for food, hunting ground. Wars started for cattle, for land. Wars began for people, for names of cities. Wars have begun for power, for rights, for military power. Wars have started for oil, for inventions for innovations. Wars start because of arrogant greedy old men.
War. The exact representation of humans. We crave it, no matter how strongly you disbelieve it, it is true, deep down something yearns for war.
It is not truly the war that we seek, not the fight, not the blood, not the deaths but the dominance. We all need power, to be the best man than the next. All of us. that search for power is what drives us, and defines us. We all want to be a leader.
And yes it comes down to this. The lowest common denominator. Greed.

Even in the 21st century war is still waged over the resources that can be acquired. Though now the spoils of war, are also its weapons; plutonium and uranium.
In its greed, China would invade Alaska. The US would annex Canada. And the European Commonwealth, would dissolve into quarreling, bickering nation states.
And by 2020, the storm of world war had come again. Only this time, from the fury of nuclear fire, in mere hours, most of the planet was reduced... to cinders.
A few managed to reach the relative safety of the large, underground vaults. Your family was part of that group that entered Vault 13.
Life in the vault has remained the same for over a century. A small community living underground, completely shut off from the outside world. Life in the vault... is about to change.
