Was there a WW1? Did WW2 follow? Think about it

Yes, but we hope and pray this may not happen.\nWorld wars or even major wars started with some of the ff. sequences: prejudice, bigotry, greed, social divisiveness, an upsurge of national or patriotic fervor, then internal political upheavals, war pacts and peace agreements, military buildup/escalation, interior cultural or ethnic clashes, economic blockade, consular debacles, political/electoral intervention, military intervention (training, advisers, military hardware, support), an open war, multi-theater wars, one, two thermal bombs...

there were a lot of contributions to the defeat of germany in WWI. a lot was more internal, like the German Revolution. the website talks about this and other events.

It is a possibility but the consequence would probably be third world war. I hope that it never happens.

At any given time in history, there are numerous wars and conflicts going on. Currently there are 40+/- conflicts in the world. The only time the WORLD WAR status is attibuted to a war is when the superpowers square off on opposite sides in open declarations of war. We are far from that scenario, altho i agree the spark is there to ignite a larger conflagaration. But for now, just think regional conflicts, proxy wars, brinksmanship and disagreements between rump states.\n\nWhen the US, Russia and/or China square, then come back and we'll talk WW III. The history books haven't declared the Cold War as WWIII or the current war on terror as WWIV. You'll know when WWIII hits, that burst of EMP will be your first warning....\n\nThe start will most likely be the result of a launch on warning hair triggers of the aging Russian early warning system thinking that NATO or the US has launched against them....a computer foul up will have started WWIII.

No one day it will happen, probably from war. Its just a matter of time. When? I couldnt tell you.

Um I think either North Korea or Iran might spark ww3. China & Russia would back them cuz they are communist or somehow allied or have common interests. I think on the side of the US, would be the UK, EU, Japan, & Austrailia. This is the big shocker though. The hidden communists in Canada would sieze power & use Canada as a staging ground to attack the US & UK. Most of ww3 would be fought in Canada or something along those lines with slight variations in the outcome depending on how it all unfolded.

Some people believe we are already involved in World War III.  It is known as "the war on terror".  I believe this is a sort of World War.  Believe that or not, if it gets much bigger, it definately will be World War III.

There will always be world wars (if you're counting there have actually been nine, including the American Revolution, and the French and Indian War or Seven Years War depending on where you live) \n   There will be more world wars, as long as there are violent people on the earth, they just might not be labeled as such.

These are all very thoughtful answers, and they should be appreciated, but unfortunately most of them don't really encompass the idea of a world war but a known-world war (I am splitting hairs, and I am being a jerk, but please hear me out before you send your dogs to bite me).\n\nThe first actual world war would be the War of the Spanish Succession (approx 1739, also known as King George's War). This was the first war after the religious and succession wars in England when King George I was placed on the English throne because no English born king could be trusted by the nobility. This allowed what is informally known as the "Second Hundred Years War" (1739 to 1815) between France and England to begin. France felt that it had been cheated in the actual Hundred Years War, but now that England had a King with personal holdings on the continent of Europe again (northern Germany), France would be able to fight England without having to cross the Channel.\n\nEvery conflict between France and England up to the final exile of Napolean Bonaparte would include fighting in every corner of the world (Canada, South America, Oceania, India, Europe, Africa, the whole world).\n\nAs you can see, the Revolutionary War is an excellent answer because France and England would fight in every corner of the world during it (after we stabbed France in the back by leaving the war in 1783, France would finally be defeated navally I believe in South America under Lord Hood's fleet), but it is still part of this Second Hundred Years War begun in 1739, as of course is the Napoleanic Wars. The Hundred Years War, the Wars of the Roman Empire, the Peloponesian War, etc, while they were the known world, they encompassed only Europe and parts of Africa.\n\nAgain, sorry to be splitting hairs here, but that is what I do. Let the dogs begin biting!
