Description
"World War III is about to occur!The source of the conflict is the India-Pakistan dispute over Kashmir. Negotiators have so far been unsuccessful in obtaining a peace agreement between the two countries. A Peace Summit has been called at the United Nations office in Geneva, Switzerland, by the U.N. Security Council as a final attempt to avert nuclear warfare in Pakistan and India.
A war between these two nations could escalate to encompass the entire world."
