Are We Destined For Another World War?

Government and politics have always and will always be a defining power in the world. WWII was a war of governments/ideologies between dictators and free nations. The dictators wanted to spread their control and idea of an ideal government while the democratic nations tried to prevent that spread. The result was a second world war to prevent Hitler from conquering of the world.

All wars in part or in whole are caused by clashing governments and ideologies. Both world wars were caused by one government or ideology spreading too far and endangering the others. The others would then arm and defend themselves from being overtaken. In the first World War, communism became too popular and threatened the delicate balance of world power. In WWII, Adolf Hitler and Nazism was on its way to conquering Europe and possibly the world if it was not stopped. Hitler used war and military power to spread his form of ideal government-Nazism.

Today, many argue that the United States is pushing its democratic government too far. Many use the war in Iraq that has grown into the War on Terror as an example. The US is trying to institute democratic governments in other countries by using its military power and war. Other countries, especially in Europe, think that the US is pushing too far and may be driving toward a new war. They disapprove of the US' tactics and forcefulness. Some countries are feeling the need to arm themselves just in case. If this feeling spreads and continues, another world war may be upcoming as a result again of government and politics.
