There were more than two military powers involved. The Germans opposed the allied armies that included the US, Great Britian, Russia and several others. On the other side of the world Japan (an ally of Germany) opposed the US, Austrailia, the philipines, Russsia, China and other smaller countries. That is why they refer to it as a world war, because most of the worlds powers were involved one way or other.
