When is war considered World War 3?

Answer 1

A war is considered world war, when the parties in it are applying strategies and tactics which include military and other actions on the whole globe of this planet.
Which meansthat the confrontated parties in war are from all over the world, not just one continetn, and that the battles are not concetrated on one geographic location but are fought all over the world.
And if you have a war in such proportions , you could call it World war 3.
Perhaps in some manner you could call war on terrorism World war 3, only there are not anymore clasical armys, and clasical strategys of previus war.
But if you think that this warfare in Iraq, Lebanon , and perhaps Syria and Iran could be called that name, I would not agree, befor
World war I you did have 2 balkan wars, witch included more parties then then these middel easter states, and still this was a local conflict.

Answer 2

Freakin hippies all over. Hell if anyone knows the answer to that. WWI & II as examples would lead you to think we should have called the Global War on Terror WW3, but it got so much play in the cold war as the one that never came that it's hard to assign it away now. I would have called it that from the start though to help the American people understand the gravity of what we're doing in the world, how long & how much it will cost, etc.

Answer 3

I know it's not easy, but try to ignore the propaganda.

Dubya's policies are not new :-

“Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”

Answer 5

a international warfare is at the same time as each usa on the planet is embroiled in conflict. yet even that became no longer strictly authentic in 1914-1918 and 1939-1945. because no longer each usa became in touch. yet at the same time as international warfare 3 does erupt, we can study about. This time there'll be no winners. Even those impartial countries will experience the outcome of it. each human being will be a loser. what's occurring in Iraq, Gaza, Israel, Afghanistan isn't a international warfare. besides the undeniable fact that it would want to might want to genuinely initiate one might want to Governments make certain to take aspects.
