World War III

From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.

World War III is the name given to a possible third world war.

It is widely agreed that if such a conflict actually took place, the usage of nuclear weapons and similar weapons would cause massive devestation, and possibly the destruction of humanity. Albert Einstein said, on the destruction that such a war would cause, "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."

A third world war does occur in the backstory of Star Trek.
