The correct answer to this open question is the following.

According to Will and Ariel Durant in their book "The Lessons of History," in the last 3,420 or so years of recorded history, only 268 years have seen no war.

"The Lessons of History," written in 1968 by Will and Ariel Durant is a history book that refers to the different periods in human history and the trends that have characterized those periods. Throughout the book, human history is analyzed from different perspectives such as race, geography, biology, economy, government, war, among others.

Regarding war, is sad to know that human beings are conflictive and warrior species of creation, waging war most of the time for power, dominance, and control purposes.
