There's supposedly always better situation in the future, it is pretty dubious to claim that wars and cataclysms accelerate long term development.
It depends on what you mean. Wars have historically accelerated technology development, at least in the short term.
If you mean development more generally, then no probably not. The civilian technology would eventually get developped, if more slowly without the major push of a war. In the process, people and resources are destroyed.
