I Am Interested In Ww1 and Ww2

Today is the 75th anniversary of the battle of Iwo Jima

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofSF463vpCQ]

[i]Threescore and fifteen years ago,
 
On Iwo Jima's scoriac stones
 
Many a young man bled and died
 
For country, God or emperor.
 

 
Now looking at this desolate isle
 
Today, but little more remains
 
Than mostly unkempt monuments
 
And dreadful artifacts of war,
 
Rusting where they fell, so long ago.[/i]

WWIII has already begun.

@littlepuppywantanewlife I sincerely hope not! If people encourage terrorism and land grabs like Russia has done, we may be headed in that direction!
@samueltyler2 it started since 2020. India china conflict, then Russia -ukraine , Israel - Palestine and again India and Canada ( cold war )

@littlepuppywantanewlife how do you define a world war? India-China? India-Canada? Are verbal attacks wars? Yes, Russia invaded Ukraine in an attempt to grab land, a typical geopolitical.move that has spornrd wars before. yanas invaded Israel, not to take land, but to kill.and mame, brutally. That is barbarism to the utmost level. But calling this the beginning of WWII, i hope that I don't live to regret saying this, but I think you are playing the Chicken Little role too much.
@samueltyler2 India china war is also based on lands. It funded Pakistan for many years to capture the lands. China is doing the same. Globally these countries are very powerful and have so much of business. Well India Canada just started because of khalistan and Trudeau.

@littlepuppywantanewlife What current wars are you speaking of though? Do you have access to news that I do not, enlighten me.
@samueltyler2 I am talking about the WWIII situation. Ofcourse there are plenty of articles.

To enlighten you there is already so many things on news. But if you are new to other countries war situation which is already on the brink read below.

@littlepuppywantanewlife define a world war:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_III

Oxford dictionary:
/ˌwɜːrld ˈwɔːr/ [countable, uncountable] a war that involves many countries. During the First World War, Flanders was transformed into one huge battlefield. My grandfather fought in two world wars.

the "wars" you mention are between 2 countries, the "fact" that there may be several wars going on at once, does not fit the definition. This isn't just semantics, we don't want to cry wolf too often.
@samueltyler2


Your definition of war is solely based on mass weaponry and bombs. So you don't consider geo-political warfare, bio-chemical warfare as a part of war. The problem is not we don't live that era. This is modern day war. Can't be same as WWI and WWII. There is a lot in history which can read on internet. Since I am not sure how much are you aware of wars between borders of India, china and Pakistan.

@littlepuppywantanewlife I had no idea of those numbers, thanks!

@littlepuppywantanewlife I think WWIII started with the Ukranian war. It became the west against the East.
@Carazaa Thank you.
