2. World wars
• A World War is a military conflict spanning more than 2
continents, in which at least 20 major countries participate in
an attack against a common enemy, and which has the
attention of the man-in-the-street due to the significant loss of
life.
• The world has already seen 3 world wars.
• World wars have had devastating effects to all the countries
involved.
• The Great Depression of the 1929 – World war –1
• Hiroshima & Nagasaki attack - 1945 - World war 2
• The Cold War – Russia & America – 1962 - World war 3 –
almost about to end in a nuclear war.
• Rampant civil wars thousands killed – 9/11 attack,
Afghanistan War, Iraq War have lead to a terrific jolt to the
peace in the world.
3. • Unable to match the bomber capacity of America, Russia had
built its nuclear weapons.
• Taking advantage of the new Cuba-USSR alliance,
Khrushchev was in a position to install nuclear missiles
ranging to most major American cities
• The proximity of a Cuban emplacement would reduce the
warning of any launch to little or none.
• In 1961, the U.S. deployed 15 Jupiter IRBMs (intermediate-
range ballistic missiles) at Ä°zmir, Turkey, aimed at the
western USSR's cities, including Moscow.
• The French intelligence warned America of Missle being
planted in Cuba – but America underestimated Russia’s
power.
• The climax period of the crisis began on October 15, 1962,
when United States reconnaissance photographs taken by an
American U-2 spy plane revealed missile bases being built in
Cuba
World War III
4. • In 1962, the Soviet Union placed medium range missiles ninety
miles from the US in Cuba—a move considered by many as a
direct response to American Jupiter missiles placed in Turkey.
• The Cuban Missile Crisis was a confrontation between the
United States, the Soviet Union, and Cuba during the Cold
War.
• The crisis ranks as one of the major confrontations of the Cold
War, and is often regarded as the moment in which the Cold
War came closest to a nuclear war.
• The crises ended on October 28, 1962, when President of the
United States John F. Kennedy and United Nations Secretary-
General U Thant reached an agreement with the Soviets to
dismantle the missiles in Cuba in exchange for a no invasion
agreement and a secret removal of the Jupiter and Thor
missiles in Turkey.
• The nuclear war did not take place.
Nuclear war – Which did not happen
5. What is a nuclear war ?
• The possibility of using nuclear weapons in war is usually
divided into two subgroups,
• The first, a limited nuclear war refers to a small scale use of
nuclear weapons by one or more parties.
• A "limited nuclear war" would most likely consist of a
limited exchange between two nuclear superpowers
targeting each other's military facilities, either as an attempt
to pre-emptively cripple the enemy's ability to attack as a
defensive measure or as a prelude to an invasion by
conventional forces as an offensive measure.
• It will also refer to a nuclear war between minor nuclear
powers, who lack the ability to deliver a decisive strike.
• The second, a full-scale nuclear war, consists of large
numbers of weapons used in an attack aimed at an entire
country, including both military and civilian targets.
6. 4th
World War?
• World War 4 - An unofficial title that is now used
routinely by top officials and ground-level operatives
in the U.S. military and the CIA.
• The Bush Doctrine of a proactive global campaign
against terrorism marks the opening of World War
IV.
• A World War Four scenario was developed several
decades ago.
• The Fourth and final World War envisions an
attack on Iraq, Iran and/or Syria as being the trigger
to set the entire Middle East into fiery conflagration.
7. The fourth world war
• A war without a battle field
• A war where there is no enemy
• A war that is everywhere
• A thousand civil wars
• A war without a end
• It is a global war, one of the most
expensive and complex in world history.
8. Path of the WW4
• Prelude - The events leading up to the start of World
War Four, including Sept 11, 2001.
• Act 1 - The Middle East. Widespread conflict to
bring the entire region into the flames of war, possibly
triggered by Iran or militants in Pakistan using North
Korean supplied nuclear arms.
• The first Scene in this Act is the US Invasion of Iraq
on March 20, 2003.
• Act 2 - Israel at War. Against her Arab neighbors,
possibly Palestine. A Palestinian State will be
established, so that all Israelis will be fully separated
from Palestinians, only for Israel to viciously attack
Palestine shortly thereafter.
9. • Act 3 - Far East -"Hair-raising nuclear confrontation that
threatens mankind's existence”. Includes China invading
Taiwan and a nuclear eruption on the Korean Peninsula.
• Act 4 - Erosion of Confidence in 'The System' so severe
citizens will be panicked into giving up liberties and
Constitutional form of government. The plan calls for
the dissolution of the US Constitution, triggered by a
significant enough 'terrorist' attack.
• Act 5 - The collapse of the US, and other Western
economies and morals.
• Act 6 - Significant population reduction using natural
and man-made disasters.
No end of this war known as yet..
Path of the WW4
10. Will it really happen??
• The only requirement left to fulfill the start of WW4 is that of
a military conflict spanning more than 2 continents. As soon
as Israel attacks Palestine, or North Korea attacks South
Korea or the US, or China invades Taiwan, we will have the
next World War well underway.
• But the threat of a nuclear disaster is what is avoiding the this
World War 4.
• All nations are aware of the disastrous effect of a nuclear war
if ever it happens. There will be no winner if nuclear power is
used.
• It doesn't matter who fired first, no matter how quickly he
fired, the other would be able to fire also. The destruction will
be mutual, and, from the beginning, this option was simply
renounced – keeping the actual fourth world war in abeyance.
11. Nuclear facts & figures
• Report of the Secretary-General, it was estimated that in
total there were approximately 40,000 nuclear warheads in
existence at that time with a total yield of approximately
13,000 megatons of TNT (Trinitrotoluene).
• By comparison, when the volcano Mount Tambora erupted
in 1815 (turning 1816 into the Year Without A Summer due
to the levels of ash expelled), it exploded with a force of
roughly 1000 megatons of TNT.
• Today, the world has 13,000 megatons!!!!!
• Many people believed that a full-scale nuclear war could
result in the extinction of the human species.
• All the major countries of the world today posses nuclear
weapons.
• Nuclear Attack will lead to permanent devastation of the
world.
12. If it happens…….
• The facts show the intensity of the problem that the fourth
world war could bring along.
• Such an attack would seek to destroy the entire economic,
social, and military infrastructure of a nation by means of an
overwhelming nuclear attack.
• In all the three wars someone emerged as a winner – But here
the winner will also regret for decades - It will be threatening
to the mankind..
• The limited scale Nuclear war can be called the "global
nuclear holocaust in slow motion" because that once such a
war takes place others would be sure to follow over a period
of decades, effectively rendering the planet uninhabitable in
the same way that a "full-scale nuclear war”.
