Most people would say III, but I count IV, or even V.
(I say the Seven Years War, or ' French and Indian War ', was the first real WW I.
But for those who follow Bobbitt and others, and call the entire 20th Century, WW I, WW II, and then Cold War, as one Long War, then they are at 'WW III' (what I call IV), but only if they Count the Seven Years War as ' WW I ', as I do.
Otherwise, they are only at II....now.
Whatever..... )
By my assessment, it, IV, has actually been going on for a couple of years now,
but Americans, and most others, do not know this.
Asia, not just Middle East, or Eastern Europe, is a dry tinder box.
Even Gibraltar! BBC News Spain versus UK.
Looking, bigger picture, for just a moment, one could even speculate that the actual WW I was not The Seven Years War after all,
but the struggles against the Mongols (first with China, really more a civilizational civil war, like our 2 World Wars and Cold War), with both the Orthodox, and Muslim worlds, and the ultimate conquest of Russia (Eastern Europe) (and parts of Central Asia, and India) by the Golden Horde.
