You're definitely not the only person googling 'World War III'
If you've Googled some terrifying things in the past week, you're not alone.
Data from Google Trends shows that President Trump's recent military actions have instilled fear and curiosity throughout the world, sparking giant spike in online searches for the term — you guessed it— "World War III."

As you can see from the results over the past 30 days, though the searches spiked the day after the strike, they've remained relatively high in the days following, showing a lingering confusion as to whether or not Trump plans on waging a war. Or, you know, if our own impending doom is upon us.

But considering the U.S. just dropped a bomb so powerful it was infamously nicknamed the "mother of all bombs" in Afghanistan on Thursday, reportedly killing 36 ISIS fighters, it mightnot be the last.
