After WWIII?

Another true world war, where conflicts are raging in many locations throughout the world, would be devastating. It would probably put the human race back 1,000 years or more.

Eventually at least one nation would use nukes, just out of survival.
 
Once the Americans have found a way to stop ICBM's from hitting their cities they can start preparing for the one world government. This government will be like Starfleet, were the Vulcan’s will be preventing our warp programme from maturing to quickly!

... the Russians will say "you've broken the ABM treaty" and build up their stocks of missiles to ensure the defenses cannot cope.

WW3 already ended.

Too bad there was no global, über-destructive war after World War II; otherwise you'd be right.

And a way to prevent someone from loading a nuke on a freighter and detonating it in New York.

I forget who it was, but his signature was like this.

World War One was fought with lots of troops.
:ar15: :ar15: :ar15:

World War Two was fought with lots of tanks and planes.
:spear: :spear: :spear:

World War Three will be fought with lots of nukes.
:nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke:

World War Four will be fought with lots of rocks.


Mine! I removed some of the smileys before I got the mods mad at me.

IMHO, WWIII's winner will be Australia, because it won't be nuked.
 
I don't think another World War would be very long. For one thing, modern armies are becoming more and more highly trained, with a smaller, better trained force becoming a more popular form than a huge badly trained force.

Desert Storm 1 and 2 are good examples: The Iraqi's had a lot of guys, but they didn't have good equipment or training, and were easily defeated. (Guerilla warfare is obviously a problem, but that comes with occupation, not destruction of their country) So I think that the armies of the future will be smaller, and more advanced with much more automation.

If it's fought with nukes, (Which I don't think is likely, because very few people are stupid enough to try and start a nuke shooting war) then it will be over in a matter of days, perhaps hours. Whoever gets off the most nukes in the quickest time will be able to fully paralyze the enemies conventional and nuclear capabilities.
 
India and Pakistan are the closest thing we have to a nuclear war, as they both have nukes and Pakistan proclaimed that they will not hesitate to use them if India invades.

Considering how much experience the Russians have in breaking the ABM treaty, I guess they would be the "go-to" guys if you needed a ruling on it.
 
Australia

Australia is one of americas strongest allies if a nuclear war begins then aussie will melt just like everyone else. And the radiation will kill new zealand, but we will proberbly get nuked as well for being americas "good freinds" and whos to say australia wont have nukes for ever, they were buliding them in the past, and if indonesia gets angry nukes are the only way to scare them.

But anyway after would war 3 the world will be hurt very hurt but they will rebulid just like after would war 2 and everyone will be surprizeds how fast
 
Play Fallout 1 & 2 and you'll get an idea ;) :D

In fact, US and China will destroy themselves, while the Europe will take over the rest of the planet. Simple ;)

Nope nato will get involved, and china cant destroy america just really bady hurt them, russia on the other hand...
 
My History teacher says it will be fought over fresh water, so Michigan and Chicago will be ground zero. I need to move somewhere safe.

if it was over fresh water antarica is a good place, and couldnt people just boil salt water
 
I mentioned that to the teacher, but only if the people have acess to the ocean, and they can't afford to heat that much up. Antartica is an idea, but it may be too expensive to ship the water elsewhere. Why take water from Ice when you can just take the water in lakes?

That was not true during the Cold war. Many of the nukes were aimed at Perh because of it's isolation, just to prove a point.

Obviousl some people have not been reading the Bible. ;) According the bible, everyone will converge on Jerusalem and that will be the war to end all wars until one more attempted rebillion by man.
 
World War 3 is in it's opening stages. A few battles have been fought already but it doesn't seem to have had mayor consequences up untill now.

The cold war is not World War 3, okay?
Some people think World War III was the Cold War. I certanly dont see it as that since a Cold War was realy just that, a "cold" war. In contrast to a Hot war wich is what World War II was. So I agree with you on that.
