It's actually a double edged sword you know? Maybe they arent that powerful as they show to us Maybe the Fire Nation was already on its last legs, overextending themselves like a near-dead zombie and spreading down the troops even before the OWL [white lotus] showdown at BSS and Aang's confrontation.

Specially that many of the fire nation purses and places was annihilated by earth kingdom forces, such as an fully industrialized Omashu raped by Bumi on the day of his libertation.

Or the Fire Nation is like China's Qin Empire [nearly unstoppable semi-godly ancient superpower] and the only way to defeat it is waiting for its ruler to die.

No matter what, I dont believe the war is a reference to world war 2, or even 1. Maybe some technology are from world war one, specially those invented by the mechanists and commandeered by the FN, such as tanks,baloons and his airships. The time for world war1/2 is LOK timeframe, where the world is much more modern, we got a similar-to United States as superpower, and a entity which parallels the League of Nations/United Nations.

So the time for conflicts involving countries [similar to] the US,Japan,etc is YET to come.
