world war three will take place in many countries by its very nature, however it will very like begin in the south china sea, more specifically over the Taiwanese straights, and will begin as a conflict between China and the US over control of the vast oil reserves found there, china has been growing ever more aggressive in its seizures of such waters, and the US is treaty bound to defend them, and strategically must, when this happens is very debatable, geopolitics fluctuate very dramatically, and those in power will pick their moment based on a complex integration of factors. monitor the bilderbergs, that will provide forewarning.

The world will never be world peace. As long as there is lust, greed, and fear, war will exist. These are all an unfortunate part of human nature. There are those among us who feel that the only good war is one fought with words, but we are a small minority.

I believe the end of the world as we know it will actually happen in our life times and it has already started.\n\nI know we have survived 2 World Wars already, but do you think we could all really survive a 3rd with nukes.  The US is the most powerfull country in the world and they are starting to flex some of that muscle around. Eventually the rest of the countries of the world will fight back. It will end up being a nuclear war, which would cause the end to us all even if we are to survive the war. This theorie in my opinion is even confermed in Revolations. War, plague, pestalence, ect.\n\nYes, I totally believe this.

As long as humanity exists, as long as the process of development goes on, as long as the quest for survival and the urge for superiority exists, wars will go on. No one knows about the third world war, but the fourth world war shall be fought be sickles and stones. We are really near to the Third World War.

The 21st century sadly will be a war-zone.\n\nTerrorists are everywhere, and nuclear weapons continue to spread to 3rd world nations. Put the two together and its a recipe for disaster.\n\nLike most people, I long for peace. But I don't see it happening. Hopefully, we all learn from the past, and trust in God and diplomacy.

It is a ridiculous question.  The two countries are to economically interdependent for a war to ever be waged.

Howdy\n\nIt depends, the term world war needs to be refined in this climate of global terror. At present there are a huge range of countries which are part of the Coalition, which at present are trying to root out the terrorists which were a part of the September 11 and London attacks, not to mention countless crimes in thier home nations. \n\nI believe that at present, we are in a state of war. At present we have many different nations which are trying to over come some thing which we believe are immoral or evil due to their crimes and actions. I consider this to be a world war, but if you compare this to the previous world wars, were land was taken over and large scale battles took place. You wouldn't really consider it to be a large scale world war, merely a policing action on a larger scale.\n\nIf you meant a large scale conventual war, in terms of a nations army attacking another, then I would have to say that in my opinion there are two options.\n  \n1. As you can see from the iraqi invasion, the oil fields were a key factor during the invasion, which included air drops of troops to actually secure them.\n\nWe in the developed world, we use far to much in the way of fossil fuels which from scientist we can assume we won't have much left to actually use in the near future.\n\nWhen this happens you will have every nation on the planet, fighting each other for access to natual resources, I could only assume you could call that a world war.\n\n2. The current Chinese and Taiwanese issue, is nothing more than a tinder box, waiting to explode. I believe that if the Taiwanese continue to press for Independence from the mainland, the Chinese will be forced to attack, to preserve face in the international community and their people.\n\nI hope this helps.\n- Phil

Oh yeah, good idea! Let's start World War III because the world is too peaceful now.

Have you heard of the Yom Kippur war in 1973, Israel vs a coalition of Arab nations....Egypt, Syria and Jordan. That was worse than the current situation.....it didn't raise a blip on the world war scenario (not that it didn't have the potention as a spark)...just relegated to the heap of regional conflicts between rump states. When the strategic super powers square off into two camps, then come back and we'll talk world war. \n\nUntil then, just think regional conflicts, proxy wars, sabre rattling and brinksmanship.... After the next world war, we'll be back into the stone age and you won't have to worry whether a world war occurred or not.  \n\nYour first inkling that it has started is when your video game and tv go off from that initial EMP blast.

Absolutely and inequitably yes.  History continues to prove this, even when were were less people on the earth; the more people, the more demand for land, resources, power, etc.  There will always be war, unless we had one all powerful world dictatorship type of government, and even then civil wars would inevitably break out to reinstate liberties and freedoms suppressed by the Glorious Leader of the one government, and one subscribed way of thinking.

I don't think so, nobody wants war with Iran, because they have allies in China and Russia and that would be world war III

No. There will never be world peace. If there is ever world peace there will still be people that are repressed and in poverty. When people are repressed and in poverty they act out against those that arnt.

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.
