World Wars
A world war is a war between large and powerful countries that affects everyone. The battles expand across several continents. Although there are only two official world wars, the term is sometimes applied to other smaller wars, and many suspect that soon we will have a World War III upon us.
It seems that before both official world wars, books were published that could have warned us of the coming destruction- both from Germany. The first, in 1904, by August Wilhem Otto Niemann, was Der Weltkrieg: Deutsche Träume, meaning the World War: German Dreams. It was a warning that Germany was planning to fight. Before World War II, Adolf Hitler published Mein Kampf, which was a huge warning that, again, Germany was planning something, this time stronger than the first.
Aside from German threats, other huge factors were key in starting world wars. Political traits like imperialism, captialism, nationalism, and communism played huge parts before and after the world wars, all of which will be covered here.
