Answer 1

If there is a WWIII it would basically be the end of humanity

Nuclear weapons would destroy most of life as we know it.  The remaining people would either die from radiation poisoning or lack of food and water within a matter of years

Answer 2

This is proven and its fact,us standard oil co. funded the n**i party,supplied 20 million worth of oil for the battle of britain,the head of us standard oil co. was george bush grandfather.He supported hitler in invading england. America has always been at war,Im providing a video for more details. Its 3 min long. You Shouldnt worry,people have had your fear throughout history. Just try to live your life the best you can,your fears may never come true.

Answer 3

Watch the movie Mad Max, Doctor Strangelove, or A Boy and His Dog.

Answer 4

1) They will die.

2) No, families wont be torn apart. They will all be dead.

3) No concentration camps. Everyone will be dead.

4) No more generations at all. Everyone will be dead.

WWIII would almost certainly involve masssive flashes of light followed by mushroom clouds and nuclear fallout that will render the Earth uninhabitable for all mammals for the next 4200 years.

Answer 5

I think that WW III has already started. It will end with a big bang if Iran, Syria, N. Korea, etc. get nukes. If we can defeat Islamo- terrorism now, things might be different.

Answer 6

if WW3 ever starts, it would be the end of life as we know it. It may first start out as a conventional war, but whatever side starts to lose will fire off their nukes. The other side will retaliate, boom, it's over. So, my suggestion, if another world war ever breaks out, get yourself to a prime military target, snuggle up with some warm people and good scotch and just wait for the end. It will be quicker that way.  

Answer 7

First off, WW III has already been fought and the Western nations led by the US won. It was called the 'Cold War'. We are currently fighting WW IV and it's called 'The War on Terror'. To answer your questions:

1. For most average citizens of the world, nothing will happen to them. They will go about the business of living their lives without much fuss or muss.

2. The answer is 'NO', at least not in the same way they were torn apart in the '60s. No one REALLY cars about this war to really fight against it...

3. The answer is 'YES', there already are concentration camps and Guantanamo's only one of the few we know about!

4. Nothing much [SEE answer question 1]

Answer 8

Well Sweetie, not to give you a smart answer but my dad is in Iraq right now and the news too, Makes me think that what war is going on now, (Operation Iraqi Freedom) IS pretty much ww3 you know like since lots of countries have been dragged into it.  

Answer 9

In short - nuclear winter for hundreds of years. The ashes from nuclear explosions and fires will  shiled Earth atmosphere from Sun. Temperature will drop far below zero. 2 billion people will die in the first month of the war in nuclear explosions. The rest will die painfully and slowly in 10-15 years from radiation, cold and starvation.

Answer 10

Not to scare you, but I think we are in the beginnings of WW111 already. I hope it's not the end as we know it, but it may eventually be the end of this country as we know it. We have ticked off too many people to stay on top when all h**l breaks loose.

Answer 11

When it begins, probably like the last two world wars most people will not realize that it will spread to a much wider conflict.

Citizens behind the so called lines will fair little better than those on the front lines with ICBMs and long range bombers. Many if not most large cities will be mostly destroyed.

The resulting anarchy and chaos caused by power grids and transportation systems being mostly in ruble would result in looting and lawlessness and starvation that would cause further suffering from the survivors.

No camps, the kill rate and speed of modern nuclear war will give little time for scapegoats or concentration camps.

I do not believe that every human will die though maybe as many as 90-99% could. Your best survival chance would be those people who produce most of their daily needs locally and were the farthest from the largest nuclear exchange areas. Isolated islands, or in remote areas away from population centers and military bases possibly in the southern hemisphere.

A new culture built by the survivors would develop in time this could take hundreds of years

Answer 12

It will be like the Whole Earth going to sleep.  

Answer 13

RUSSIA WILL INVADE ISREAL THROUGH GEORGIA.ISLAMIC FASCISM AND COMMUNISM WILL LIVE HAND IN HAND AGAINST THE SPREAD OF DEMOCRACY.

Answer 14

Lots of Nuclear weapons would go off, lots of people will die.  Lots of people will be very angry.  The countries that started it will not be there by the end of it.

Answer 15

Do yourself a favor and try not to think too much about it.  While it sometimes looks like World War 3 is bound to happen, there are BILLIONS of people who count on it not happening, and even as bad as things can look sometimes, peace and prosperity prevail.

I also don't think that WW3 will look like what your parents and grandparents though it would, where countries just drop huge bombs on each other until everyone's gone.  I think if we do ever get to a point, it'll be known as what is called a Cold War.  A Cold War is essentially where a war is fought, but without all of the guns, fighting and bombing.  It's typically tough talk, economic sanctions (you're not allowed to bring Cuban Cigars into America...that was a result of a sanction during the Cold War with Russia) and nowadays, technology hacks.  I'd think that crippling a server in one part of the world could essentially slow down or altogether stop something like Air Traffic Control, or maybe the power grid, or perhaps traffic lights.  It could be anything really, which is why you hear so many people preach about not being 100% digital or electronic in your life.  

I believe that most citizens will rally around each other--perhaps even their government too--in order to end any conflict as soon as possible.  I could also see a case where the governments of two countries could be mad at each other, but the citizens aren't.  Some people think this is the case with the everyday Palestinian and Israeli...they don't hate each other, but their governments do.  A united front by both sides could draw a solution quicker.  

I don't believe that families will be torn apart...I actually think the opposite.  When people are in trouble, they tend to forget all of the reasons they were mad at each other or fighting or whatever.  I think it would bring people closer together.

I doubt there will be concentration camps.  Back in World War 2, the world was a different place.  We didn't know what the people were like in Germany or Japan.  You couldn't fire up your computer and talk to someone 1,000s of miles away for free.  I think that this kind of unity will never permit something like concentration camps from happening again.  We're a different people, and we're more humane in my eyes.

Finally, if you look back on it, the time during and after World War 2 was probably the best and most prosperous time for America.  Of course, no one wants war, but we managed to do OK then, and I think we'll be fine if something ever happens again.

So like I said...things can look pretty bad at times, but keep in mind that there's more good than evil out there.  It's pretty obvious that you yourself wouldn't want to see another world war, and I promise you that you're not alone.  

Answer 16

There's a movie called "Threads" that covers the worst-case scenario:  http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?doci...

it supposes a nuclear exchange btwn the West & Soviet blocks over Iran.

Answer 17

Everyone will die from an atomic blast, fallout, or the lack of crops and animals to grow for food.

There will be no familes.

Nobody will be left to put anyone in a concentration camp.

Your generation would cease to exist.
