According to the data, searches for World War III reached peak popularity on Google on April 7, the day after Trump ordered a missile strike on a Syrian airfield in response to a chemical weapons attack that killed at least 70 civilians.

Widening the search parameters to January shows that this is the first time the search has spiked during Trump's presidency.

Over the past five years the "World War III" search only spiked in popularity one other time, following the Paris terror attacks that took place in November 2015.
