Here's a different perspective on whether or not another "World War" awaits us.
Looking back at the first two World Wars, they seem to have been a long period of fighting, at times massively violent on a broad scale, at times more localized, but primarily focused in Europe and the Orient. They weren't really "world" wars ... most people, most of the time, in other regions of the world could go to bed at night, comfortable that they'd likely wake up the next morning, in the same bed in the same home, all in one piece. The two World Wars were by some views a long period of fighting, punctuated by a global economic recession/depression sufficient to motivate (1) a new monetary world order, replacing the British Pound with the Bretton Woods US Dollar, and (2) a new round of globalist governing institutions, such as the United Nations, the World Bank and the IMF.
Now we are in the middle of a second such period of prolonged warfare, this time centered in the Muslim regions, stretching from North Africa to Indonesia. Here's map of that region. I trimmed off Indonesia, off to the right side, so that the map would fit better on this web page.

Most of the bombs, bullets and drones that have blown up in "live" action these last few decades have been in places on the map above.
This current period of warfare in the Muslim nations is also punctuated with a period of immense stress on the dominant currency, the US Dollar this time rather than the British Pound. It's not seen as a global recession or depression, so far at least, but the stresses will be sufficient to bring about the demise of King Dollar, in the not too distant future I anticipate.
World monetary dominance will move to the Orient and Asia, with a new round of global monetary governing institutions and covenants.
We've yet to see the climatic military and monetary events that will mark the end of this period of increased warfare and economic stress ... but it seems that's not that far off.
By this view, I'd expect major military conflict in the Middle East, and a ramping up to a climax in economic/monetary stresses coming in a year not far off, followed by new agreements between various nations and other global governing institutions.
World War - what's that - it's a period of increased stress including regional large scale military warfare and wide spread economic/monetary tensions, leading to a new dominant monetary system and a new round of global (and some national) governing bodies.
We're in such a time, well past the half way point.
