It can broadly be done. For ex, the social upheaval of the 60s is, in the S&H model, just as diagnostic as the warfare of the 40s. Consider that the social changes and emerging social conflicts that came in with the late 60s/early 70s were visible in America, Britain, France, and elsewhere all at approximately the same time. The practical effects were different in different places, but the upheaval was roughly synchronous.
