We all love a big fictional carnage.
So the challenge here is to come up with the most massive (in terms of total number of forces invloved) and most balanced (in terms of ratio between the opposing forces) world war you can think of.
I have said world war 2 because with a POD after 1900 I don't think there is much room to alter WW1 significantly. You can however alter the outcome of WW1 as a lead-in to the scenario. You can allso have a "small" WW2 (not necessarily the historical WW2) if it is followed by a WW3 meeting the challenge.
In principle there is no limit to how recent the POD can be, but the war should be (mostly) conventional, so I suppose it is not possible to have a POD after the advent of true MAD.
