A World War (like World War I and World War II) has a lot of the world participating (in a more friendly word) in it.
A Civil War (like the Vietnamese Civil War/Vietnam War or the USA Civil war) is when a large body fights against each other in a war. It's not like when your class can't decide whether to have pepperoni or cheese for your Pizza party.

For example, the World War One was fought with machine guns, poison gas, tanks, planes and barbed wire, although barbed wire was not new it was still the first time it was used in a war, while the American Civil War was fought with rifles and bayonets. Another difference is the reason behind the war. World War One was fought because the next in line for Austria-Hungary's throne was killed and the allies of Austria-Hungary and Serbia all helped out so a small war turned into a World War. The American Civil War was very different, it was fought over the rights to have slaves.
