Since #FirstContactDay was just a few days ago it is probably worth remembering, that there are quite a few 'unpleasant' events in #StarTrek history to get through before first contact takes place. So let's look at one of them for today's #TrekTriviaTuesday question.

World War III was the last of Earth's three world wars, lasting from approximately 2026 to 2053. The conflict involved nuclear cataclysm as well as genocide and eco-terrorism. But first contact with the Vulcans, around ten years after the end of the war, united Humanity in a way no one ever thought possible, and within fifty years, less than two generations after the post-atomic horror, Humanity was finally able to eliminate poverty, disease, war, and hunger.
@matzekult It depends who you ask ;)
