This page is marked for review.

World War III (WWIII) was a worldwide, nuclear war, which began as a response to the unexplained destruction of Tokyo by Akira. The war began 9 hours after the destruction of Tokyo[1]. When the rest of the world saw the city's annihilation it saw it as a nuclear attack by a foreign nation or terrorist group thus sparking the conflict. The event highly devastated many of its combatants.

According to the opening scene of Akira, World War 3 occurred in ‭1988 CE (31 years before 2019)‬.[2]
