The beginning of WW3

Many known scenarios may begin or have begun the Third World War as

Chinese invasion of Taiwan, Russian invasion of Eastern Europe, an Iranian nuclear state, North Korea invading the south and attacking the West, Pakistani and Indian. These scenarios are already known, I would like to know for you which are the less known scenarios that would lead to a world war on a large and small scale.

Here are some lesser known scenarios that can start ww3:

Mexico willing to recover its former northern territories
The War of the Falkland Islands on a large scale
Indonesian invasion of Australia
A powerful Nigeria

I would like to focus on a special scenario, '' Venezuela invade Brazil ''

The instability of Venezuela in northern South America leads to a possible war in the Western Hemisphere. Venezuela is one of the nations with more oil outside the Middle East, Venezuela is bordered by the US ally, Colombia to the west and bordered by the possible US ally to the south, Brazil, one of the most powerful nations in the Americas.

Brazil is experiencing the greatest political crisis in its history with the so-called '' largest corruption scheme in human history, '' today the arrest of the former president of Brazil known as '' lula '', '' One of the largest leftist parties in Brazil and the world.

In Venezuela, "Lula" was one of the greatest supporters of the Venezuelan political system, with his imprisonment, how mature could he order the invasion of Brazil, as he had threatened to do before?

What would be the response of the United States and the rest of the world to a Venezuelan invasion of Brazil?


Recalling that there is a treaty similar to NATO and ANZUS between some nations of the americas and the United States for reciprocal defense called the '' Inter-American Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance ''

Gone Fishin'
Between Venezuela and Brazil there is the Amazon Basin. I'd just like to point out that geographical factor before the utter implausible rest of this idea can be taken apart.
 
I don't see any way make Venezuelan-Brazilian War as WW3. USA might do something but hardly direct intervention. And at least on 21st century I see such war implausible anyway.

And about other scenarios here:

Mexico willing to recover its former northern territories

Why Mexico anymore would care about its former northern territories which it had lost over 100 years ago? These are too already fully americanised. And even if president of Mexico vbecomes mad and decide invade, it would be just war between Mexico and USA. And surely government of Mexico would fire president such act.

The War of the Falkland Islands on a large scale


Falkland War might escalate but not to level of WW3.

Indonesian invasion of Australia

Why Indonesia would do that?

A powerful Nigeria

What?
 
Indonesian invasion of Australia

Why Indonesia would do that?

I remember Calbear doing a TL on this actually it was during Carters presidency it never got any further than Tomcats and B52 wipe out Indonesia invasion force followed bya coup and peace treaty not WW3
