  World War III (Star Trek) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the fictional Star Trek universe, World War III is a nuclear war that devastated much of Earth which took place during the mid-21st century.
One of the key players in the Third World War was Colonel Green who led a violent faction of ecoterrorists during the war.
Following the war, with almost no major governments remaining (the United States of America was one of the few remaining nations), Earth was left to slowly recover from the nuclear carnage of World War III.

 World War III - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If this confrontation had escalated into full-scale war, it was widely thought that the conflict would become "World War III", and that the end result would be the destruction of most life on Earth, an extermination of human life or, at the very least, the partial collapse of civilization, with total casualties over 500,000,000.
The term World War III has been used by Project for the New American Century (PNAC) to describe the Cold War of the 20th century, while the War on Terror, including the Iraq military conflict, is referred to as World War IV.
Some historians have suggested that the War on Terrorism, in retaliation to the September 11, 2001 attacks, may become known by future generations as the third of the world wars due to its global impact and the number of countries involved.

 World War III - Memory Alpha
Rising from the ashes of the Eugenics Wars of the mid-1990s, the era of World War III was a period of conflict on Earth that would eventually escalate into a cataclysmic nuclear and genocidal war over issues that included genetic manipulation and human genome enhancement.
World War III itself lasted from 2026 through 2053 and would result in the death of some 600 million Humans.
The war was fought in an era where various factions were known to control their military with narcotics.

 Talk:World War III - Memory Alpha   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The war itself was desrcibed in Star Trek: First Contact to have ended around 2053, which means Green's activities could have taken place between 2026 and 2049 and still be placed in the early 21st century, as is stated in "The Savage Curtain".
However, while the World War III of the mid-21st century was specifically stated to be World War III, the Eugenic Wars were only statedo as being within the era of Earth's third World War; it was never definitively or specific stated to be the actual World War.
Anyway, the fact that the war was being fought for the reasons stated suggests that the Eugenics Wars was a conflict which resulted in the war, and thus is considered a part of the era of the Third World War by the 23rd century.

 IMDb user comments for Star Trek: First Contact (1996)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Overall this is a solid Star Trek film, which although not excelling in any one area, has a strong backbone of drama and action aboard the ship that works well with the lighter stuff on the earth.
this is enjoyable and the characters outside the usual star trek flunkies are quirky and in the case of the borg Goddess (okay, she's not a goddess, but she may as well be), malevolent while still being evilly fun.
Star Trek: First Contact probably has the widest appeal of all of the episodes, in much the same way as Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home did in 1986.

 Star Trek : When was the last World War?
According to the Star Trek reference books, Khan was born/created in the 1960s, and seized power over South Asia and the Middle East in 1992.
Also, in more modern times, the "Star Trek: Voyager" episode "11:59", which was actually produced in the year 1999, recalls the story of one of Janeway's supposed ancestors, who helps develop a giant shopping mall/biosphere thing called the Millennium Gate in the year 2001.
Obviously, the producers of "Star Trek: Voyager" knew nothing of a Millennium Gate project in the year 1999, and the creation of such a thing off of short notice was highly unlikely.

 Star Trek First Contact - Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Star Trek: First Contact is easily the best Star Trek movie ever, putting to shame some of the earlier efforts that saw an aging Captain James T. Kirk and crew saving the Earth time after time.
Now, for the first time, the crew of Star Trek Next Generation takes flight in a film all their own, and the results is a better-than-average, action-packed adventure that will satisfy even the most diehard Trekkie.
It lives up to the highest Trek standards and takes the audience on an adventure they will not soon forget - from a thrilling space walk outside the Enterprise to a wild ride on the warp rocket as the crew tries to prevent the destruction of the entire future on mankind.

 The Kzin Question: A speculation on Star Trek
World War III does well in "masking" the Icarus contact with the Alpha Centaurans; when the Icarus returned to Earth humanity was in the midst of bombing itself back a few thousand years and had other considerations.
Because the limited Kzin "Wars" in the Star Trek universe were not as extensive as those in Known Space, the Kzin would not have lost as many of their aggressive males in the wars, and thus their genes would continue in the Kzin gene pool.
Too much of Star Trek depends on several assumptions: (1) that spacefaring races are humanoid in nature, (2) that such races achieved roughly the same level of technology at roughly the same time, and (3) humanity is the decisive historical force in the cosmos.

It is my conjecture that while the Eugenics War was not World War III, the origins of that later conflict no doubt stem from the events of the Eugenics War ­ thus accounting for Spock's comment, as he no doubt equates the two events in his mind as having been related to one another.

With the good things far outweighing the bad things in “World War Three”, I would’ve expected a much more enjoyable episode and, whilst it’s possible that it will hang together much better when viewed with its counterpart, I can’t shake the feeling that things looked much better on paper than in execution.
