When all the nation on Earth nuked the shit out of eachother. Afterwards what few survivors there were lived in caves in Montana and spent their lives chugging whiskey until Zefram Cochran built a space ship out of a missile and brought back really smart friendly aliens who fixed everything

Although unknown to the general population, there actually was a "World War 3." The fact that it only lasted 4 and a half seconds is why it's so unheard of. It happened about 2 years ago on October 2nd at 4:13am but ended shortly after when the United States sent Chuck Norris behind enemy lines in Mexico, France, and Iraq. The only reason it took him 4 and half seconds to drop 3 countries is the fact that he stopped for lunch in the middle of it.

world war I was sparked by the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, in Sarajevo on 28 June 1914. The Austria-Hungarian goverment accused Serbia of having something to do with the assassination. An ultimatum was presented by the Austrian government to Belgrade on Thursday 23 July 1914 at 6 p.m. A response was demanded within two days, by Saturday 25 July at 6 p.m. Austria-Hungary's expectation was that Serbia would reject the remarkably severe terms of the ultimatum, thereby giving her a pretext for launching a limited war against Serbia.
There were differnt alliances made early in 1914. It was The Triple Entente; Great Britian, France and Russia against the Triple Alliance which was Germany, Austria-Hungray and Italy.
Germany surrendered in 1918 and in January 1919 The Treaty Of Versallies was made to decide the fate of the defeated nations. The majority of the decisions was made by the 'Big Three'- France, USA and Britain.
