How pervasive was the idea that we had reached "the end of history" in America during the ninties?

In Europe this was not the case.
It was seen as a window of opportunity (a 'New Age'), without the constraints of the Cold War ('Old Age'), to resolve problems that had plagued Europe since the demise of the Roman Empire.
However, it soon became clear that many of these problems, that had laid dormant during the 'Old Age', were still, very much, in existence.
Nationalism (Yugoslav Wars), greed (Bank run) and Populism only a few of the self caused problems.
At present we are at the stage in Europe during the 14th centry (Black Death) afterwhich the self caused problems continued.
In short, history is only repeating itsself.
Only time will tell, if we deal with it better than the last time.
