We haven&#x27;t yet seen a corporation start a world war because multinationals the scale of google and samsung are a relatively recent phenomenon.<p>With that said I agree that we&#x27;re unlikely to see a world war started by a corporation.  I think we&#x27;re far more likely to see an interplanetary conflict started by a corporation however.<p>It will be quite an easy thing for an asteroid mining venture to turn into an arms manufacturer the likes of which we have never seen.
