based on the causes of WWI and WWII, how can a future leader prevent WWIII?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, WWIII will be global suicide, therefore in answer to your question, as long as there's rational superpowers who believe in MAD, there will be no WW3. By definition, the next world war wil be nuclear, how could it not. In a nuclear war there will be no winner. In a nuclear world, the only true enemy is war itself. The causes of WWI and WWII will have no bearing on WWIII.

The next World War will involve a nuclear exchange, how could it not if both sides believe no price for victory will be too high. In the first 30 minutes, nearly a billion people will have been vaporised, mostly in the US, Russia, Europe, China and Japan. Another 1.5 billion will die shortly thereafter from radiation poisoning. The northern hemisphere will be plunged into prolonged agony and barbarity.

Eventually the nuclear winter will spread to the southern hemisphere and all plant life will die. You ask what country would be victorious, you are asking when will we commit global suicide. My answer is it won't happen soon because the larger superpowers are more rational than the rump states in the middle east.

While we hear talk of a nuclear-Iran or a confrontation with NorKor, little is said about the 2 bulls in the glass shop. The arsenals of Russia and the US are enough to destroy a million Hiroshimas. But there are fewer than 3000 cities on the Earth with populations of 100,000 or more. You cannot find anything like a million Hiroshimas to obliterate. Prime military and industrial targets that are far from cities are comparatively rare. Our biggest threat is from an accidental launch by the Russians.

At the point of global suicide, it doesn't matter who is on what side, whether a country is nationalistic, an evil empire, threatening its neighbors, etc.....where you go to hide, or how long you can survive. In a nuclear age like i said before, the only true enemy is war itself....as opposed to WWI and II where we KNEW the true enemy.

Answer 2

A third world war will be unpreventable, but to deter it from happening any time soon there are a number of things a leader
(or a group of them could do).
1. First off, If we weren't allied too much then war's would never
spread that far over the world... however this would spark a huge
rise in imperialism.
2. Bolth war's were caused indirectly, or directly by imperialism.
If we sorta had a "buddy" system, for example the U.S protecting SOME small countries and not the world. China
doing the same in their hemisphere, and all the other world
power's to do the same. Also, If we put more pressure on
power's like North Korea and Iran then that wouldn't hurt much either.
All in all, prevent imperialism.

Answer 3

It only takes one side to start a war. As Americans, we do not want war. We want peace. We want everyone to get along and sing songs around the campfire. However, there are countries that have extreme agendas. Countries like Iran and Syria may spark a WW3. the Middle East today could be to WW3 what the Balkans in the 1910s were to WW1. There are some iffy countries out there, like China and Russia. all it takes to start WW3 is some extreme move in the Mid East. That is not happening now, which is good for the present. But it can. No one person can prevent a World War. Even the US tried to stay outta WW1 and WW2, and that didnt work out.

Answer 4

A Nation/Leader/Gorment can not prevent war. History has show the Nation/Leader/Gorment will start war to Protect or gane thier power.
In the frist world war the leadership of one nation was a attked by a small group of poeple who were Part of an other Gorerment. When one nation decarlde war on Nation/Leader/Gorment the whole world took sildes do to prewar friendships.
In the World War 2 The powerful Nation/Leader/Gorment of Nazi Germany Wanted to have more Power .The nazi wanted to rule the world .
The Clivil War of the USA was the South who need to Protect there Smaller Nation/Leader/Gorment from the Bigger Nation/Leader/Gorment of the North . The North was trying to protect there Nation/Leader/Gorment from the ieads of the South .
When The Sovtie Union invdaded Afgainstian ther goal was to Gane Power.

Answer 5

A. Address global economic issues and the redistribution of wealth so that the global economy doesn't go into recession.

B. Don't end wars with treaties that make the defeated country economically unsustainable as we did with Germany after WWI because it leads to radical dictators

C. Address tyrants with desires to rule the world early -- we should have been after Germany after they invaded the first country and not waited for them to gain power.

D. Wars are inevitable, but world interests are more fragmented in the modern era, making a war like the World Wars less likely and more frequent, smaller, regional conflicts more likely.

Answer 6

Men have testosterone. Wars are going to happen!
Lots of powerful people make profits from war, and the military culture/structure feels it needs to prove that it should exist---the fastest way to do this is WAR. These are forces we really can't control----WW1 and ww2 were started for no good reason.
A country, and the role of leader of a country, is tied in to making war, not preventing it. There is very little common sense involved in these activities.

Answer 7

first what is a world war?

well it is when the entire world is divided, fighting or allied on 2 opposite camps, so if that is close to the definition then:


we are in WW4 : Democracy and Freedom against Islamo fascists this time

WW3 was the Cold War: Freedom and Democracy against world Communism

so global wars will not be able to be prevented, since mankind is still very primitive!! until humanity evolves into peaceful coexistence we will see different forms of world wars.

Answer 8

World War 1 started because of the death of Franz Ferdinand

World War 2 started because an evil tyrant wanted ultimate power

They were both different causes which started them.

Answer 9

By eliminating all treats to world peace. Send assassins to kill the leaders of Iran and North Korea.
If someone killled Hitler before he could become Fuhrer Germany would never have started WW2

Answer 10

The system of alliances lead to war. The best way to avoid wars is end mutual defence treaties. That way war is limited between the two opposing countries and won't drag in country after country.
