Alright, the more political/sensible answer that i would thought of is when the whole world, i mean the whole world is affected.

For such cases like the recent Iraq War is not really a world war. But according to history records, World War 1 & 2 are define as 'world wars' is because they involved most major power countries (capable of causing military destructive) to the world are involved such as 'Russia, US, British, Germany etc' and other countries which are co-dependant on each other were greatly affected due to the fact that the main countries would be concentrating on the war, not so much concern about other matters around the world. Therefore other countries would became 'stagant' in a way. If all the countries are affected by the war and Half the world is invovled in the war then it is a world war
