1938 FIFA World Cup
In WWII, Germany took over France in 1940. Italy wasn't involved, it didn't join the war until 1941.
There was no world cup in the year 1997 , it was held in 1998 in France.
The Hundred Years' War involved primarily France and England, and while eventually a significant portion of Europe became involved as well, it was hardly a "world" war. I don't think any non-European nations were involved at all (and certainly no Western Hemisphere nations, because it happened before Europeans were even aware there was a Western Hemisphere).
