   I always thought that WWIII came in the aftermath void of the Eugenics   
   Wars (over the next 50 or so years).  In much of the same way the void   
   after the fall of Rome plunged Europe into the Dark Ages, but on a   
   totally global scale.  The immediate years after, you see warlords   
   vying for power.  Widespread genocide is occurring like what happened   
   in Rwanda, Yugoslavia (except there wasn't a UN to stop the atrocities   
   - cough cough) or the threat of what could happen in Iraq if Democracy   
   doesn't take hold.  With no controlling factor in this environment,   
   WWIII takes place.
