World War Three is generally thought of (Notably in Science-Fiction) as a Nuclear holocaust that would end up leaving the survivors in a primitive state of survival (Post-Apocalyptic World) hence the Fourth World War being Fought with sticks and stones following the destruction of the advanced technology & civilization by those same so-called advanced technologies & civilizations that are seemingly unable to stop destroying the world. The result of this process is to go back to the stage of the Stone Age so that the cycle of human folly can (most likely) repeat itself.

Once Albert Einstein was asked,"Can you say something about the Third World War?"
He replied:"No. I cannot say anything about the Third
World War, but I can say something about the fourth."

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

From the makers of The Great War and World War 2 comes the highly anticipated sequel- World War 3! After 56 years of international peace, America finds herself in the middle an epic power struggle between Islamic Jihadists and Chinese invaders. Will America prevail and come out this conflict stronger than ever, or will she crumble in the midst of a nuclear holocaust? with special guest appearances by Russia, Great Britain, Israel, France, Iraq ,and Canada. coming to a bomb shelter near you!

A future war in which several major nation of our planet will be involved in. One possibility is a war between China and U.S. The war could be started with a N. Korea invasion of S. Korea. In which most likely N. Korea is turned back by the U.S. and S. Korea. At this point China comes in to save N. Korea and a World War breaks out. The war would take place in Korea and both navies fighting each other in the Pacific Ocean. Conflicts would also be stired up in the middle east in where both countries try to secure oil reserves for fighting the war. The war would most likely end with a cease fire after thousands die and both economies are devastated by not having the trade between the two nations. If over 20 nukes are set off enough dust would be stired up into the sky to block out the sun causing a nuclear winter (nice way to cancle out global warming). The world would be in an ice age only worsening the situation for both countries. America might win but only if China breaks out in a civil war.

Another possible war could be between the western world and the middle east. Though unlikely because the Quran accepts Christianty as the same god and the west accepts all religions or no religion whatever. It could happen if the west keeps screwing over the middle east like it has been for the past well... I guess since the west was. Like I said its unlikely because your average arab and American have no interest in killing each other and those are the people that will fight each ...

World War III:

1) A war which involves the whole world (or most of it, including all of the major countries). It is often predicted but hasn't happened yet.

2) A slang term, meaning a huge fight or 'disaster zone' (both literal or figurative).

NOTE: This is often shown as "WWIII"

Good times...At least a good time to be someplace else.

Everyone vs. America

The war that was supposed to happen in 1985, according to the novel written by British former General Sir John Hackett, entitled "The Third World War: The Untold Story".

Features the usual Cold War era nemeses (U.S.A. / U.S.S.R) and their respective allies (lackies) with fighting taking place in various theatres, notably central Europe and the Middle East.

First published in 1978, revised in 1982; commonly referred to under the genre of "future history", but can now of course be classified as "alternate history".
