Isn’t that because the super-powers of the day were Europeans? USA (with European roots) and Japan (which was a military power) were exceptions. In today’s scenario, the super powers and/military powers are spread across the globe.

China has the world's biggest military based on active personnel with two million. India is second, the United States third and North Korea fourth.

But yes, given the far more complex inter-web of commerce, industry, finance, and even immigrants, it’s a lot more difficult for the world today become bi-polar which is a necessary criterion for a world war. Also, nuclear deterrence, diplomatic relations, non-state actors, economic warfare, regional conflict management reduce the possibility further.

Even during the WW1 and WW2 nobody wanted a World War. But because some people were pushing the envelope too far on what would be tolerated by others, the war resulted. Today, it is not too different. Russia thinks West will not get involved as it tries to grab Ukraine. Israel thinks others would remain silent as it does war in Gaza and Lebanon. China is hoping tide will turn its way if it invades Taiwan. N.Korea has similar ambitions against S.Korea.Isn’t that because the super-powers of the day were Europeans?

All it takes is a few sparks - some miscalculated move by one or more parties and full out war would ensue.
Also note that though officially WW2 was supposed to have started when Hitler sent his forces into Poland, it was preceded by their conquest of Checkosovakia. So for all we know, we may already be in a WW3.
Yes thats true. the other point is today I doubt if any country will go out to war for another nation as the economics of war is so different.Isn’t that because the super-powers of the day were Europeans?

China is the only asian country which could go for Taiwan due to the Semiconductor industry.
Additionally the citizens of today dont war either and most nations do depend on a vote. The US gets involved mostly due to its war industry and keeping its world power ( ie others power in check) but even they may not go to a war again the way got into afghanistan.
So WWIII might be localized wars..again this is all theory

Not just Rupee-Ruble. Whole world is going to shift to local currency trades. If all goes well, we may see a commodity backed BRICs currency as well.
The world is fed up of western gundagiri. Dollar as a reserve currency is the true reason for western hegemony and West's weapon to punish anybody who transgresses. If the world moves away from Dollar, western hegemony suffers deeply and any Western sanctions become meaningless.
