So far, our generation has to seriously count itself pretty fortunate that we haven't yet lived through a world war. Genocides, yes. Human atrocities, yes. A world war, no.
However, as conflicts between rich and powerful nations continue to simmer, US Army bosses have predicted what WWIII would look like.
US military bosses predict that Russia, China or climate change are the biggest threats that could lead to another world war.

It was also revealed that future conflict would be 'extremely lethal and fast' with a war between two powerful countries 'almost guaranteed'.
This was predicted by Maj. Gen. William Hix at the annual meeting of the Association of the US Army in Washington.

As reported by Defence One, he said: "A conventional conflict in the near future will be extremely lethal and fast, and we will not own the stopwatch.
"The speed of events are likely to strain our human abilities."

Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A Milley believes that a war between nation states 'is almost guaranteed' in the future.
He said army strategists must be prepared for cyber warfare and fight in urban areas, reports the Daily Mail.
It comes after reports this week that Russia has started preparing its citizens for a'nuclear war' with the west as tensions mount over Syria.
