It's not difficult for charismatic men to raise an army and no brainwashing is necessary. Check out Vikings on the History Channel.

It would be much more difficult in a world where violence is not the norm, which has been one of my key points. The culture & society that people grow up in set their understandings of the world, their ideas of what is normal, possible, and right. When someone grows up in a world where force & coercion are the accepted norms for how to organize, make decisions, resolve conflicts, etc, they are of course going to respond to things in their own life with force & coercion (or by outsourcing that force & coercion [voting]). If someone grows up without ever observing/experiencing humans using force & coercion to solve their problems (instead using communication, agreements, compromise, etc), then the chances they would ever respond to something in their life with violence are infinitesimally small.
I'm definitely not going to watch that haha. I stay away from the programming of states & corporations. Oh, and that isn't actually history... it's a fictional entertainment show.
A violent world IS the norm. Teach peace but not be niave.
