Robert Farley

World War III in 2025? The year 2024 is promising to leave a dangerous legacy for its successor. Not in decades has the world witnessed a more dangerous international environment, with unsettled, ongoing conflicts in some of the world’s most critical regions. It will take deft, mature statesmanship to avoid even greater conflict in 2025, but the situation that we find ourselves in demonstrates that deft statesmanship is in short supply.

5 Places World War III Could Start in 2025

No one wants another global conflict, but in some ways we are already in a potential World War III. The Russia-Ukraine War, one of the largest conventional conflicts that the world has seen since World War II, has had far-reaching global effects. These have necessarily touched upon the parts of the world where Russia, China, the European Union, and the United States have interests, which in effect is the entire international system. None of the conflicts discussed here are separate from the others; just like the different theaters of WWII, they each have an effect on the balance of power and threat in the other regions.
