AH Challenge: Largest Conventional War

What is the largest feasible conventional war that could be created using PODs? Expanding past wars is allowed, but within reason and it must have been able to actually happen. However, anything that ends in nuclear war is out.

I'd say you'd have trouble coming up with any war that beats out WWII-with-Downfall.

The great war in Kim Stanley Robinsons "the years of rice and salt" is pretty damn big. Half the world against the other half, and it lasts for 75 years...

Imagine WWII with additional war fronts. Argentinia could have gone fascist and joined the war on the Axis side. An outbreak of pro-Nazi Boer unrest in South Africa that leads to conventional war. There are a few possibilities.

Also, a non-nuclear WWIII could fit the bill.
