Could World War 3 Begin with NATO and a “Muslim NATO”? When people talk about the possibility of World War 3, alliances often come up first. NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, is the most powerful military alliance in the world today.

The Sweet and Sticky History of Fun, Part I: The 1960s
