  • The two World Wars of the 20th century helped to define the global politics of their time. World war is conventionally defined as an interstate war fought between leading military powers supported by their respective alliance blocs where the scope of military engagement, on land and sea and in the air, extends across several world regions and where every continent is in some way impacted by the fighting.
