Fucking massive genocides happen in the 90s.
But if youre solely talking about cyber war -- ESCHELON, CARNIVOR I mean cyber war was super deep... NSA was requiring backdoor access to all routers as early as 1995... and not only that Cerberos group bought MAE-West in San jose and PAIX in palo alto to spy on everyone... I know a lot about these spying ops.
no insult intended.
kosovo, congo, rwanda are not major western powers.
Source, multiple family members in the state department in the past....
for reference from head of the state department at the time:

Get it?
Huge genocides are horrific tragedies but did not effect the development of technology like wartime did.
im talking to this point as there were massive proxy-wars/conflagration of conflict in that time period mentioned...
But to your point ;; "did not affect development of technology"
welp ;; surveillance tech has been massively successfully developed DURING that period
