World War 4?

Question

- we know that WW1 and WW2 has long occured and we know which war was it. (for those who didn't know, pls dun answer)
-WW3 started when 9-11 occured, Afghanistan and Iraq has been attacked. this involves many countries, wether they are offensively attacking or defensively defending their countries, or merely they are campaigning about WMD or campaigning about PEACE. the world are involved in many ways. (agree on this?)
-therefore, can we say that we are on the verge of WW4 as this crisis in middle east is escalating?

Answer 1

well actually, war has to be declared on a physical government, or country for it to be considered war, therefore the middle east thing is a conflict. Second it isn't a world war since really the key fighters are the U.S military and non governement ordained militia from arab countries. I think the next world war will be when kim joing actually fires a nuclear missile, and the un decides to get involved. China will ally themselves with N. korea, and france, adn go up against the US britain, germany, and russia. And japan will make a video game about it.

Answer 2

No, I do not think the war in Iraq and Afghanistan would be considered WW3. Most of the world refused to support the United States and Britain in the war against terror...
However I wonder if this conflict with North Korea could end up being WW3?

Answer 3

WW3 is not the war of terrorism. Look at the statistics and largeness of the previous two world wars, and you'll see that the war in the middle east isn't close to that. This is more like Gulf War 2.

We are still waiting for WW3.

Answer 4

yes it will be considered world war 4 because the cold war was world war 3. though there was no major conflict between the U.S and Russia but there were large conflicts such as Vietnam, the Cuban missile crisis, the Korean war, the Cambodian campaign, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran Iraq war etc which both sides were involved in so this conflict now should be considered world war 4

Answer 5

World war 3 has even started yet the whole thing in Iraq is called a peace campaign.

Answer 6

i would disagree because the crisis in the middle east has been escalating in that region for centuries. i think that the world be hurt more economically then anything else, just take a look at the fluxuating stock market and the price of oil per barrell. we are about as deep as we can get with the middle east. we support israel and its right to defend itself, but we cannot afford to lose favor of all the arab countries.

Answer 7

Compared to WW2 Afghanistan and Iraq was a minor war.

Answer 8

No I'f this is the start of another world war this is definetly the start of ww3. this is still the aftermath of post 9-11 and won't stop anytime soon.

Answer 9

We are actually not currently in WW3 war was not declaired by congress, technically, however they did aprove action in the middle east, you could say it is the Gulf Conflict 2.

Answer 10

It wasn't some historic actuality seeker that pronounced that. It replace into Albert Einstein. He pronounced that he did no longer understand how international conflict III could be fought yet he knew how international conflict IV could be fought, with sticks and stones
