I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

The best war ever. Why? Because there were kings and queens, but there were also advanced weapons. Awesome!
There is one case in which World War I shouldn't be considered the best war ever, and that's if you fought in it.
How to fight in World War I:
1. Sit in a stinky trench for a month. Repeatedly get terribly ill from sleeping in mud mixed with shit.
2. Get your ass pounded by hundreds of thousands of artillery shells launched by an invisible enemy. Suffer from shell-shock.
3. Get gassed until you bleed out your ass
4. Jump out of your trench and get shot while mutilating your hands trying to climb over a barbed-wire fence.
5. Get limbs amputated.
6. Go home.
7. Suffer awful Post Traumatic Stress Disorder that makes Schizophrenia look normal.

World War I is cool to study, but if I wake up in a World War I bunker tomorrow I will shoot myself in the mouth.
The belligerent stages of World War I (the war had been subtly waiting to happen for decades) began when Archduke Franz Ferdinand (awesome name and title) was assassinated by a terrorist group called the Black Hand (frickin awesome name!) in Sarajevo, Bosnia (badass city even today).
Emperor Franz Josef (yes, "Emperor", it doesn't get better than that) of the Austro-Hungarian Empire then sent an ultimatum to the government of Serbia, which it held responsible for Ferdinand's death. Serbia failed to comply with the demands and was subsequently invaded by the Emperor's troops under General Franz Conrad von Hotzendorf (this stuff is too cool to make up). Soon, Tzar Nicholas of Russia declared that he was mobilizing his massive army. In response, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, who really didn't want war with Russia but previously promised support to Austria Hungary, mobilized his troops, declared war on Russia and France, and invaded Belgium and Luxembourg within days. His plan, the Schlieffen Plan, was to take France out of the war within three weeks, before Russia could mount a major offensive against Germany. He failed in this respect and the western front bogged down to a stalemate 50 miles outside of Paris.

World War III:
1) A war which involves the whole world (or most of it, including all of the major countries). It is often predicted but hasn't happened yet.
2) A slang term, meaning a huge fight or 'disaster zone' (both literal or figurative).
NOTE: This is often shown as "WWIII"

A 2006 novel by Max Brooks recounting the zombie apocalypse and it's effect on the world. It deals with themes such as blame, the media and its effect on society, and the unpreparedness of the world's governments.
It has had quite an effect of zombie culture. It's portrayal of the undead as rabid killing machines has spread to become the template for the species, and the book's signature, the Lobotomiser, is widely accepted by the zombie-killer community. It is a must read for all fans of the living dead, for all lovers of subtext, and for all people who enjoy a good horror story.
It was loosely adapted into a 2013 movie starring Brad Pitt.

Just to give you a taste of the book, there is a scene in which a crowd riots and destroys a mansion that is occupied by Bill Maher, Paris Hilton and Lil' Wayne. It is ultra-cool.
Also, the movie of World War Z is totally watchable, if a little castrated for gore.

Let me put this in terms a teenager can understand
Archduke Franz Ferdinand was in Sarajevo and Gavrilo Princop popped a cap in his ass
Austria-Hungary got pissed off and asked Germany for help who gave them a "do whatever the fuck you want" or a blank check. Austria-Hungary finally asked Serbia to stop all anti Austria-Hungary activities and let them investigate the murder themselves. Serbia said fuck no and then Austria-Hungary declared war
because Russia was an allie of Serbia it began mobilization (preparing for war) and Germany didn't like this so they said "back the fuck up" to which Russia said no so Germany declared war on Russia and for no apparent reason whatsoever (just to be assholes I suppose) declared war on France. the declaration of war by Germany on France pissed off the English so England declared war on Germany
so basically they're all fighting when one day Germany shot a torpedo and sunk the Lusitania. the United States put their foot down and decided enough is enough and they were going to enter the war.
the Germans shit their pants and I can't remember what happened next but that's how it started

According to the protagonist in Kurt Vonnegut's "Timequake":
"...The world's second unsucessful attempt to commit suicide."

A future war in which several major nation of our planet will be involved in. One possibility is a war between China and U.S. The war could be started with a N. Korea invasion of S. Korea. In which most likely N. Korea is turned back by the U.S. and S. Korea. At this point China comes in to save N. Korea and a World War breaks out. The war would take place in Korea and both navies fighting each other in the Pacific Ocean. Conflicts would also be stired up in the middle east in where both countries try to secure oil reserves for fighting the war. The war would most likely end with a cease fire after thousands die and both economies are devastated by not having the trade between the two nations. If over 20 nukes are set off enough dust would be stired up into the sky to block out the sun causing a nuclear winter (nice way to cancle out global warming). The world would be in an ice age only worsening the situation for both countries. America might win but only if China breaks out in a civil war.
Another possible war could be between the western world and the middle east. Though unlikely because the Quran accepts Christianty as the same god and the west accepts all religions or no religion whatever. It could happen if the west keeps screwing over the middle east like it has been for the past well... I guess since the west was. Like I said its unlikely because your average arab and American have no interest in killing each other and those are the people that will fight each other. If it does happen it would likely spark by an invasion of Iran. Iran will be devastated and suicide bombings will be going off in elementary schools across America and sick stuff like that. Causing American soldiers to be brutal to Iranians which then get the whole middle east against America and the western world.
I truly don't know what could happen with a culture clash like this and I hope it doesn't happen.
Both possibilities should be avoided and can be. By not trying to start any more wars, recognizing China as a major power and allowing Iran to have nuclear energy as long as they let the U.N. observe them, war can be avoided. China has no interest in going to war with America because they would lose their economy and likely never regain it. The middle east won't go to war with the west. And if Iran tries to start something and the U.S. responds they will likely take the U.S.'s side, unless Bush invades Iran then it will get bad.
Peace be with you my brothers and sisters.
