What Creates a World War?

As we all know, a world war is a culmination of multiple factors that add into its beginning.  While many countries have certain ways of ruling(government) as well as protecting these rights of ruling, many countries do not have the same beliefs as everyone.  I believe that world wars or mass conflicts are sparked by the superficial need to become a super power.  To be named this "superpower", a country must show that they control their society while protecting, with a powerful military regime, its government from overrule.  Such examples is our involvment in the Middle-East.  As American's, we feel that it is our destiny to destroy the likings of others to create a government(democracy) that others will follow.  This belief of extreme nationalism, some outside critics would call it a minor form of terrorism, can and will cause future world wars to begin.
