Today in the Ukraine, people believe World War III is on the verge of starting like World War I. There are three particular examples that are just like WWI’s. Three reasons why WWIII will start like WWI is conquering tours by county’s leader, invasion, and arms race. These three examples will be the reason WWIII starts.

Before the start of WWI, Austria-Hungary’s leader, the Archduke Franz Ferdinand ordered for Austria to take over Bosnia. Once it was conquered, he took a tour of the country and was assassinated in Sarajevo by Serbian extremists. Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia, is scheduled to take a tour of Crimea, Ukraine. Earlier in the month, Russia invaded Crimea. Is this by luck or is it about to be the start of WWIII?

The second reason why WWIII is on the verge of starting is invasion. During WWI, Austria-Hungary took over Bosnia. Earlier this year, Russia took over Crimea, which is part of the Ukraine. This is a problem because if the Ukrainians feel threatened, their allies will help and it will cause lots of problems.

The final reason of why WWIII is on the verge of starting is the arms race. Before WWI, all the countries were trying to build up their navies. In today’s era, ever since the cold war, countries have been trying to build their stock hold of nuclear weapons. If war broke out, there would be weapons of mass destruction flying around the airways like planes.

All in all, the circumstances are right for war. Today, Russia is setting up for WWIII. If all goes well, we’ll stop WWIII before it starts. The main three circumstances for war are the tour of a conquered country, invasion, and arms race. Let’s just hope and pray that WWIII can hold off for a long time.
