WW3 is an interesting scenario, both as a retroactively conceived war that could have occurred between the US and USSR, and as a future plausible war. However, this deals with WW3 scenarios at different points in history and under different US Presidents during the Cold War.

So the following is the list of dates and US leaders for each scenario:


  • Dwight Eisenhow-1950's
  • John F. Kennedy-Early 1960's
  • Lyndon Johnson-Late 1960's
  • Richard Nixon-1970's
  • Gerald Ford-Mid 1970's
  • Jimmy Carter-Late 1970's
  • Ronald Reagan-1980's
How would a Third World War go under each of these leaders and at each of these points in history (and, if you want to answer this as well, how could one start at each of these points)?
