YOU'D PROBABLY SEE ANOTHER 5 STAR GENERAL IF AMERICA WOULD ACTUALLY DECLARE A WAR.  AMERICA HASN'T DECLARED AN ACTUAL WAR IN 65 YEARS.  ALL THE REST HAVE BEEN 'CONFLICTS'.

Axis Powers - Germany, Italy, Japan\n\nWorld War II was the last major conflict to involve the vast majority of mankind (62 million died in the war).\n\nThe Torah is the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, also known as the Books of Moses.\n\nSynagogue is a Jewish house of worship, similar to the Christian churches or the Moslem mosques.

There will always be world wars (if you're counting there have actually been nine, including the American Revolution, and the French and Indian War or Seven Years War depending on where you live) \n   There will be more world wars, as long as there are violent people on the earth, they just might not be labeled as such.

Here are lots of things that happened.  I don't think they are called current events when they happened thirty years ago though!

I am honestly of the opinion that the first major shot has already been fired in World War III and all that is going on right now are skirmishes leading up to the first major battle.  There will and can't truly be any winners in this war, we are all going to lose and lose big.

try "The Great War For Civilisation" by Robert Fisk.  You will need to go back further than 20 years too as the current problems are rooted in the decisions made after the first and second world wars.  This book covers other countries in the Middle East too.

At any given time in history, there are numerous wars and conflicts going on. Currently there are 40+/- conflicts in the world. The only time the WORLD WAR status is attibuted to a war is when the superpowers square off on opposite sides in open declarations of war. We are far from that scenario, altho i agree the spark is there to ignite a larger conflagaration. But for now, just think regional conflicts, proxy wars, brinksmanship and disagreements between rump states.\n\nWhen the US, Russia and/or China square, then come back and we'll talk WW III. The history books haven't declared the Cold War as WWIII or the current war on terror as WWIV. You'll know when WWIII hits, that burst of EMP will be your first warning....\n\nThe start will most likely be the result of a launch on warning hair triggers of the aging Russian early warning system thinking that NATO or the US has launched against them....a computer foul up will have started WWIII.

The last time war was declared by the US was December 8, 1941 against Germany and Japan.  All of the rest of the actions that have been carried out since then have been undeclared.

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

The Hundred Years war was fought over 116 years. But, like Rhino said, it wasn't fought all at once. The war is actually comprised of many conflicts grouped together.

Some people believe we are already involved in World War III.  It is known as "the war on terror".  I believe this is a sort of World War.  Believe that or not, if it gets much bigger, it definately will be World War III.

of course, it is only a matter of time before we find something to fight about on a world war level.  WWIII is inevitable, just like the sun rising, poverty, finding out Santa isn't real, and Google becoming the next big monopoly.

A lot depends on what you count as a war.  The U.S. hasn't officially declared war since World War 2, so the answer could techically be zero.  Likewise, we have troops stationed in various countries around the world, and whether that counts as "going to war" or not is questionable.  You've gotta define your terms a bit more explicitly before you get a usable answer.
