Since it's difficult to find a definition for an event which has only happened twice in modern
history, here's my attempt at an answer to the question 'what constitutes a world war'?
A World War is a military conflict spanning more than 2 continents, in which at least 20 major countries participate in an attack against a common
enemy, and which has the attention of the man-in-the-street due to the significant loss of life.
lets see how many country's are in
conflict or out right war well this is long list

Now is this not a world at war???? wars like ww2 are no more,WW1 i will not go there, for the days of trench war are done, to bad the weapons are not!
There will be no more common cause war the wars will be Korea, Iraq, Vietnam, Afghan, and Israel type wars/ conflicts the latest is Libia were NATO

Then there is the piracy in the south of Africa, drug wars in Mexico and some 20 other little conflict's/ civil unrest going on, this is WW3, not
nukes not US vs them, they are all them look at NATO is that not a war within a war? yes it is a war of words between Leaders and brass is this not
