Encyclopedia: World War III

World War III (abbreviated WWIII), or the Third World War, is a term used to describe a hypothetical conflict on the scale of World War I, World War II or larger. Most usages of the term assume the use of weapons of mass destruction such as nuclear weapons, biological or chemical weapons.

There is some opinion that the term refers to an actual war, as some use the term to refer to the Cold War ^[1] or the War on Terror ^[2].
