World War Starts in Western Hemisphere

Basically, one of the world wars starts in South or, somehow, North America, with the rest of the world getting dragged in, rather than the other way around.

Is it possible?

Not really. It's not practically possible for any Latin American country to form a permanent alliance with a European state with a POD after 1900; by then, the US is too strong and will invoke the Monroe Doctrine and Roosevelt Corollary to break up such an agreement. European nations, on the other side of the coin, have more to gain from their own empires than from messing in the US's backyard.
 
Considering these have been pondered with the 1st ACW,(and those we have convincing UK involvement) then I could see similar things happening from a 2nd ACW.
 
Both a second US Civil War if there's no FDR and WWII starting in Latin America are possible.

Something like in Axis of Andes. It would be like how the Second Sino-Japanese War started WWII most likely.
 
Okay, sorry, forgot in the OP, a NON-APOCALYPTIC World War. No nuclear weapons, or similar MADs(or at least not until the end.)
 
Ummm has anyone hear heard of the Cuban Missile Crisis?
I think that that could easily lead to a world war.

He means in the Western Hemisphere, not the Northern, so the Americas pretty much.

Oh and bugger off Green, who are you to decide the divine will of the all powerful Alien Space Bats, you presume to much.
