When world wars started is determined after the fact, and I think there’s a good chance that future historians are going to land on a date that we’ve already passed.
There’s not really any hard rule that says it has to be named World War 3 either. Although the third installment have been highly anticipated for a long time now, they could start a whole new franchise.
They did announce expanding their nuclear arsenal and keeping it secret. People keep on joking about Germany attacking France but France is the only sovereign nuclear power with their own nukes in a triad (so even if new German blitzkrieg overran all land launchers immediately they could wipe Germany off the map and leave those German boys nothing but ashes back home) and if Germany did attack them they could just vaporize them.
Just the fact that they have them and are offering to share them as the US does gives France a lot of power.
Yeah I mean the Thirty Years War and the Seven Years War were both unequivocally World Wars but aren’t named that at all. Hell, stuff like the Mongol conquests could be though of as a world war.
Plus, the only reason they’re numbered is because there was two of them back to back. Otherwise, WWI would have just been called “the war”, which I expect will be the way this one is talked about by the generation that lives through it

it’s not a world war unless it’s happening in france among european powers. just sparkling armed conflict
France is currently completely ignoring Germany re-arming so we could be there shortly

It’s not a world war unless France is Vichy
I hear you can get a créme prescribed for that

World War 3? No, this is Super War 1
The Michael Bay reboot re-release Origin story with extra nukes!
If they reboot it they should go with the original War to End all Wars

They’ll probably pick Russia invading Ukraine (that’s when history started)
unless america loses (i really hope it does but without a nuclear holocaust or me personally dying)
