Which countries will fight and what are the teams (can be more than 2)?

Assuming no nukes will be used, which team will triumph?

---------------------
My opinion:

Team 1: (Team Democracy)
US, England, Israel, Poland, former USSR satellites and others

Team 2: (Team Communism)
Russia, their satellites, Cuba, Venezuela and others (south American nations?)

Team 3: (Team Asians)
China, India, Japan and others

Team 4: (Team Romans)
France, Germany, Italy (merged into Roman Empire :) ), and other Europeans

Team 4: (Team Islam)
Iran, Turkey, Pakistan, Indonesia and other Muslim nations

Team 5: (Team Africans)
Zimbawae, South Africans and other African nations
 
Unfortunately people don't organize themselves into "teams."

Why would all these coutries form alliance with countries that they currently hate, (Iran Turkey) (China Japan) Just because you like to to associate them together?
 
Why did NATO/ the European Union split?

The Islamic Nations wouldn't pose a threat in a 5 way World War, nor would the African Nations. Turkey is a member of NATO

I don't think South America is generally communist, but I wouldn't be surprised if I was wrong. Russia isn't communist either.

What happened to the United Kingdom? Just dear old England by herself :)?

Oh God, the horror! o_x

Anyway, people can turn this into a serious speculative thread on how a World War-scale in the near future would look like, OR we could concede to the fact this is not an alternate history what-if but a purely speculative and HORRIBLE what-if scenario and does not belong to this sub-forum.
 
As you said England and did not include Scotland or Wales I must speculate that William Wallace will have no part in the shenanigans of a world war.
 
Infantry # 14, you need a strong dose of neorealist IR. I don't subscribe to it, but it's the best explanation why big wars in general occur (though not any specific war; that's the liberals' and constructivists' gig). Here's some basic resources:

[wiki]Neorealism (international relations)[/wiki]


Or, if you want a truly executive summary: States don't fight big wars because they believe certain things. States follow their interests, especially when it comes to big hegemonic wars like any hypothetical WWIII, which means that (for instance) should war break out between the US and Russia, China would side with either the United States (because it poses less of an immediate security threat) or Russia (because of strengthened military ties and strategic considerations in Central Asia) but not fight both. Japan, however, is bound to fight on the side of the United States.
 
1) This isnt History
2) What are you talking about?

The machine used to revive him is stolen by the Russians so they can make Zombie Lenin.

Urrr! Must. Crush. Capitalism. Urrrrr ur URRRRR
 
This thread is hilarious, and has no part in here whatsoever. But, in the interests of at least attempting to gain soething serious out of this, the only states really capable of fighting a World War at this stage would be the US, China, and Russia, and the likelihood of such a war being non-nuclear are slim to nil.
 
Better question, why are there two Team 4s? For that matter, where is Australia? Are we in "Team Democracy" or "Team Asia?"

They are fighting over who gets to be the real Team 4.

Any "World" War would swiftly devolve into a nuclear conflict that ends most life on Earth, or be settled quickly.
 
This would be a pretty good football tournament. My moneys on the ridiculously named "Team Romans"...
 
here's my teams:
Team america:
US, UK, (?) Japan, S Korea, Taiwan,
Team china:
China, N Korea
Team Russia:
Russia, Belarus
Team anti-russia:
Poland, Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia,
Team WTH are you doing, other teams?
EU, India, S America, Australia
 
Team Romans, that's easily the most ridiculous one there. Even worse than Team Communism.

When exactly is all of Europe - except Russia, former USSR satellites, and apparently England, but seemingly including Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland - going to be consolidated into this new Roman Empire? How the hell, is Italy, of all countries, going to create a new empire. It's frigging Italy! That's like saying Burma is going to conquer East Asia in just nine years.
