Yes, but it didn’t come back as before, it changed each time.
In the UK, WW1 destroyed the ‘Downton Abbey’ inherited money class leading to many grand estates opening to the public, and the loss of a generation of young men leading to the Roaring Twenties; WW2 led to the welfare state and the NHS;
In Europe, the Great Depression led to fascism; the Holocaust led to European Convention of Human Rights which led to anti-discrimination laws outlawing racism etc setting up political correctness; WW2 led to the formation of the European Union
All seismic changes for society
