I just don't see why anyone would want to start another world war. World wars were mostly about gaining new territory but if you try that today, the US and Europe will gang up on you. These days we got a much higher standard then 100 years ago. Inflicting violence upon another living being is a big no-no.

That video explains it pretty well.
I think violence will just keep decreasing, like explained in the above video, and I don't think we will see many large scale wars in the future. I think eventually there'll be no more need for traditional warfare. Traditional military units will only be used for defense of a country. They will probably only be used as a deterrent or when there is need for a lot of manpower in a short amount of time, like for example the National Guard in the US. So they will be used mostly for "just incase" scenarios.
I think that future warfare is going to be more about tiny skirmishes all over the planet, like we have now with terrorism. Intelligence and espionage will become the standard and the only thing that resembles offensive military units, will be specialized squads, like for example SWAT. I intentionaly did not name the special forces in the example because special forces are the military. The military is supposed to "neutralize" the enemy. SWAT is the law enforcement, they are supposed to safe lives and arrest the suspects, not kill them. Like I said before, killing will be a big no-no.
I think that at this rate all the countries will unite at some point in the far future. Just look at any western European country that is doing very well at this moment. It's only common sense that we try to make the whole planet like that and then make it even better.
