I doubt it.
I think we're already fighting the 3rd world war - the so-called "war on terrorism", because militant Islamic groups are active in dozens of countries and have proven so hard to defeat.
But for another war between major powers I think you'd need to have two alliances line up against each other as happened in the first two world wars.
And, honestly, I've always felt that the U.S. War for Independence became the first global-scale war, followed soon after by the Napoleonic Wars. So technically we're really into World War V by my measure.
