There are many, many reasons and paths to world war or a renewed Cold war. Yeah it's usually oil but things like an AI arms race could lead to Cold War 2.0 and severe economic depression causing people to elect strong men like Hitler as an example of a route to a hot war. But yeah, as established in this thread, WW3 won't look like the first two world wars, things are too interconnected now for that type of global war with massive theaters all over the place. A lot of domino's would have to fall for it to be full scale global war.
