** {{Subverted}} twice in the backstory: in 2156 the inner tensions between Earth Alliance members were getting dangerously close to cause a new World War when the sudden FirstContact with the Centauri scared everyone into wiping all the troubles under the mat to make a show of unity in the face of the Centauri; by 2212 World War IV actually happens... But by this time Earth Alliance is much stronger, politically and militarily, than all its members put together, and it ends ''very'' quickly.

[[folder:Religion]]
* Some Christians believe that at least two new world wars would happen. The Gog of Magog war and the Armageddon. Which would be first is a matter of debate. The Gog of Magog war is generally seen as a prophecy of a warlord name Gog who rules a land name Magog. Traditional interpretations equate Magog with Russia, but some interpretations include Turkey and other alternative places as it is only said in the Bible that Magog is located in the north (from Israel's perspective). The Armageddon is actually a battle (not a war) but part of a major conflict ending in the Meggido lands in modern Israel (hence the name) generally seen as a war between Israel and the forces of the Antichrist which may encompass the whole world, the resurrected Islamic caliphate, the resurrected Roman Empire, the European Union, an alien invasion or literally TheLegionsOfHell depending on the interpreter.
