Google Searches Spike for 'World War 3'

Google released data on Friday that showed a dramatic uptick in searches for "World War 3" during April, breaking records for the most-searched term since the company began recording search data in 2004, The Hill reported.

Google Trends also reported that searches for "Trump War" hit its highest mark ever, and search terms "nuclear war" and "war" have also spiked.

Foreign policy decisions of the administration of President Donald Trump have recently been at the forefront following a missile strike against Syria last week over Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's alleged use of chemical weapons against civilians.

Then, a military buildup in the seas nearby North Korea edged closer to that country on Saturday as tensions escalated over their nuclear weapons program. And, on Thursday the U.S. launched the nation's largest bomb against Afghanistan targeting ISIS.
