Also I hope Brazil and Chilean become formidable foes and not just pushovers.

Yes, we need more countries totake oil fromspread FREEDOM to. This should be a world war, not "several wars on several continents with only a few shared combatants."
WWII at least had a lot of fighting in Asia and a major campaign in North Africa. No excuse for WWI aside from a few colonial skirmishes.I guess the last two Great Wars weren't really world wars, were they? Both were centered around Europe, while having a few areas of combat outside of there.

That's a good way to put it. Also, I've heard the French and Indian War/Seven Years' War called World War 0 a couple times before, as there were combatants and campaigns all over the world (North America, India, Europe, and even Africa).Well WWI probably should have been a world war too, it was just that unlike most of the great wars before it, France and Britain were on the same side which meant that outside of Europe they tended to shut down all of the potential fronts (few as they were) quite quickly. Saying that, east Africa was a real annoyance for the British and Belgians. Add in Russia and most of Asian being allied to Britain, there wasn't many places to fight. Contrast to the 30 years war or the Napoleonic wars where GB and France are going at it and pretty much everyone else switched sides at least once...

It's a bit of a stretch but yes there were battles at least in all of those places, and full blown campaigns across two or more contents at the same time (which seems to be what people mean when they say Great War or world war). Plus the stakes were ridiculously high because it was essentially two wannabe empires deciding which one of them was going to dominate not just an entire new continent but also every ocean in the world and global trade. And even then, both empires ended up disintergrated and forming into two even larger and more powerful empires that then proceeded to do it all over again!
There wasn't the level of destruction and death for the participants that WWI and II had. Machinery and automation make for much greater efficiency.
What a climatic build up for the Russians! Clearly there're not messing around. And unfortunate as it might be I don't see a way of beating them without even more trench warfare. Unless they make big mistakes and don't defend turkey or Afghanistan or something like that.
Here we go. It finally begins.
It could end like a few mega campaigns I've seen with nukes fall, everyone dies, Solaris here we come tyoe situation...
But that's a bit boring and difficult to do in hoi4 so...probs going to see a massive and really slow moving trench war if we're lucky and if not, europe getting steamrolled by russia and a really protracted war everywhere else. Much like that Trotsky Permenant Revolutionary AAR but from the other side.
So much for peace. Now we see who will stand against Russia and her allies.
I hope the West is much further along in the search for atomic weapons.
