Formerly the "civilized countries", now called the "modern societies", or possibly the "industialized countries." Which ever term the historian/student wishes to use, when those nations are at war "some" historians like to refer to them as world wars. For WW1; that war was a world war because it was fought in the Indian, Pacific, Atlantic Oceans. However, WW2 was more accurately termed a world war, as it was more accurately fought all over the world. The Korean War could have been called a world war, as it had as many countries fighting in it as did WW1; but the Korean War was restricted to the Korean Peninsula. For example, there were no Korean War battles fought in the Atlantic Ocean.

Should America Get Involved With Other Countries Affairs?

No, America, should not get involved in other countries affairs, for many reasons. Firstly, there are so many problems in this country that need the money that the country is sending to other countries. People are homeless, out of jobs, about to get "thrown out of their homes," and still the country manages to get and send money and troops to other countries. Secondly, None of the countries, that America, is putting, its' "NOSE" into, ask for it's "help." Okay, I must say the Libyans asked for Americans help, so it might as well help. Those are some of my opinions....
