We only have two world wars to use as examples. Many people call the Cold War and War on Terror world wars, but history is very selective and discriminating. So what do the first world wars have in common? Some have stated it above: superpowers in opposite camps with the majority of the countries on one side or the other. Also the involvement of more than one continent and ocean. The Cold War falls short because it wasn't hot and the war on terror does not involve super powers in opposite camps....just a localized war among rumps states relegated to the heap of regional conflicts

A war in which the major nations of the world are involved.
A war involving nations from several continents.

I think that the whole world has to be involved, or atleast a lot of the world. i think that people in many countries have to be affected or make descisions concerning or regarding the war.
