If WWIII Occurred…

If World War III were to occur it would probably be because of a natural disaster like an asteroid smashing into earth or a volcano erupting and destroying food and water supplies. This disaster would affect the whole world and would not per say create a war between countries, but rather a war between the rich and the poor. The rich would be able to survive because they could purchase high priced food and water, along with generators to produce electricity for warmth. The poor would be left to starve to death because of the lack of resources and humanitarian acts from the people who could afford to help them. This would be a situation where survival of the fittest applies and “the fittest” would be the people that could survive the inflation of prices.

While countries might attack each other over natural resources and to better themselves, it seems more likely that in a situation like this the governments would be momentarily disabled forcing its people to fend for themselves.

The after affects of this war would be near complete elimination of anything produced by corporations that rely on cheap labor like sweatshops and elimination of everyone that is poor or could not afford to move where supplies could be provided. Entire countries would perish due to lack of natural resources and some wealthy would be forced to work low paying menial jobs, recreating social classes.
