Moments when the world was on the verge of World War III

The ministry added it will announce the ambassador that the attacks are violations of Iraq's sovereignty, that Iraq is an independent state and its domestic security is a top priority.

“We will not allow Iraq to be a battlefield, a basis for conducting attacks or for its land to be used to harm neighbouring states”, a ministry spokesman said.

The ministry called on all sides to refrain and reduce tensions, as well as not turn Iraq into a battle scene, where they can resolve their jobs and work to resolve crises in the region.

In response, Iranians have launched missiles towards the bases of American troops in Iraq.

And now, in the era of social networks and mass media, it is increasingly said that the planet is threatened by the Third World War.

It's about the black forecasts that have been the main theme repeatedly throughout history since 1945.

In this regard, the media have brought some major events that were considered so problematic that they could provoke a world war.

Korean War (1950-1953)

This war was fought for the domination of the Korean Peninsula.

The Communist coalition included North Korea, China, and the Soviet Union, and on the other hand, South Korea, the United States, and the United Nations Command.

Many believed the conflict would lead to a total war between three countries ( U.S.A.R.R.R. and China.

In my opinion, the answer is yes. Korea is the start of World War III”, wrote CBS correspondent Bill Downs in 1951.

Berlin crisis (1961)

The 1961 crisis was a political-military confrontation between the US and the Soviet Union in “Pict-control Charlie”.

The bodies of one and the other had stayed only 100 meters apart, follows the telegram.

The reason was the status of the German capital Berlin in the postwar era.

The crisis began at Soviet demand for the withdrawal of armed forces from Berlin, including Western armed forces from West Berlin.

The crisis culminated in the establishment of the Berlin Wall and ended on October 28, 1961.

Cuba's missile crisis (1962)

This was one of the critical moments of the Cold War, which brought the world to the brink of nuclear destruction.

The conflict was preceded by the deployment of American middle-ray missiles in Turkey in 1959. Similar missiles were deployed in Italy.

The answer was when the USSR installed nuclear missiles in Cuba in 1962, which the U.S. said threatened its security.

The crisis escalated in late October 1962, with Cuba's blockade from the United States.

After a few days of tension and a <x0... nerve-playing”, in which the main players were John F. Kennedy, Nikita Khrushchev and Fidel Castro, the Soviet Union withdrew weapons and on the other hand received a guarantee of not attacking Cuba.

Eleven months after the Kennedy-Khrushchev deal, US nuclear weapons in Turkey were deactivated.

An agreement was also reached on creating a hot “” (so-called Red Television) between Moscow and Washington.

The India-Pakistan War (1971)

This war is related to the Pakistani civil war, during which Bangladesh gained independence. The war took place from December 3rd to December 16, 1971.

She ended up with Pakistani loss.

Indian forces won about 5,795 square miles [5,795 sq km] of land in the west, but this was returned in 1972 under the Simla Agreement as a gesture of goodwill.

Norwegian Raketor incident (1995)

In the early hours of January 25, 1995, from the northwestern coast of a small island in Norway, a Norwegian-American rocket “Black Prant XII” was set up for exploration of polar light, Telegragraphed.

The launch of the exploration missile went smoothly, but no one knew the world would be on the brink of nuclear war that day.

Russian station in Olengorsk misinterpreted the signal, and shortly after receiving information, President Boris Yeltsin authorised Russian strategic forces to prepare for response.

However, as rules dictate, to avoid being a fatal decision of haste, Russian generals once again sought a flight test. It was a surprise that brought relief to all.

Pristina Airport, Kosovo (1999)

Russian and British soldiers stood face - to - face in mid - June 1999 on the road leading to Pristina Airport in the worst crisis that erupted between Russia and the West since the end of the Cold War.

NATO Commander Wesley Clark issued a warrant for deployment at the airport.

In his statement, General of NATO, Sir Michael Jackson, the first former KFOR commander in Kosovo, has provided details regarding the meeting with the Russian contingent at Pristina Airport in 1999.

He said it was hard to talk to the Russians, but it wasn't about the Third World War.

I went to the airport to meet with the Russian commander and it was hard to talk to him. We arrived there and were able to integrate with the Russian contingent in KFOR, but it wasn't if World War III was to begin”.

Tensions lasted for three days.

In addition, though, another world war is often heard from the world. One example is the fight against terrorism, which could easily have turned into a major armed conflict after terrible attacks in the US and France. /Telegraphy/
