World War III: Difference between revisions

(I find that plausible and there is no explanation for why it is wrong. An ICBM can reach the other side of the planet in about a half hour and in the spirit of 2nd strike, superpowers had enough missiles to probably destroy the other after being attacked.)

Line 137:
* The [[Death Note]] tie in novel L: Change the World mentions that L's first solved case was that of the Winchester Bombings, the solving of which averted World War III. He solved it at 8 years old and met Watari shortly afterwards. The date is unclear, but is unarguably between 1987 and 1988.
* In ''[[Future War 198X]]'', WWWIII starts after [[A Nuclear Error]] made by Americans.
* In ''[[ToA AruCertain Majutsu noMagical Index]]'', {{spoiler|Fiamma of the Right}} engineers World War III by getting {{spoiler|Russia}} to declare war against Academy City, leading to a twelve-day conflict between the [[Magic Versus Science|magic and science factions]]. Strangely enough, it's not the conflict itself that matters, he's just doing it so that he can draw out the people he needs, namely {{spoiler|Touma (or more specifically, his Imagine Breaker), Index, and Sasha Croitsef.}}
* In ''Robotech'', the Global Civil War is raging in the 1990s, basically a non-nuclear WW III, though everyone expects it to esclate, when the arrival of Zor's starship puts a sudden stop to it.
* ''[[Super Dimension Fortress Macross]]'' has the "Unification Wars" (which we get to see a bit of in ''[[Macross Zero]]''), a series of conflicts between a strengthened, militarized United Nations and anybody who didn't want to join together with them to fight the coming Zentraedi invasion. It's mostly settled by the time the aliens arrive in that version, though.
