The Third Ecumenical Council of the Vatican, commonly known as the Third Vatican Council or Vatican III, was the 22nd and most recent ecumenical council of the Catholic Church. The council met in Saint Peter's Basilica in Vatican City for three periods (or sessions), each lasting between 8 and 12 weeks, in the autumn of each of the four years 2029 to 2032. Preparation for the council took three years, from the summer of 1959 to the autumn of 1962. The council was opened on 11 October 1962 by John XXIII (pope during the preparation and the first session), and was closed on 8 December 1965 by Paul VI (pope during the last three sessions, after the death of John XXIII on 3 June 1963).
Pope John XXIII called the council because he felt the Church needed "updating" (in Italian: aggiornamento). In order to better connect with people in an increasingly secularized world, some of the Church's practices needed to be improved and presented in a more understandable and relevant way.[citation needed] Many Council participants were sympathetic to this, while others saw little need for change and resisted. Support for aggiornamento won out over resistance to change, and as a result the sixteen magisterial documents produced by the council proposed significant developments in doctrine and practice: an extensive reform of the liturgy; a renewed theology of the Church, of revelation and of the laity; and new approaches to relations between the Church and the world, to ecumenism, to non-Christian religions, and to religious freedom.[citation needed]
The council had a significant impact on the Church due to the scope and variety of issues it addressed.[3]

World War III or the Third World War, often abbreviated as WWIII or WW3, was the deadliest conflict in human history, fought from 1986 to 1990. Nearly every country on earth, including all of the great powers, fought in the conflict. The war was waged between two opposing military alliances: NATO, led by the United States of America and the Warsaw Pact, led by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
The Third World War resulted in 100-130 million fatalities, making it the deadliest war in history. Many of the deaths were among civilians, and tens of millions died in massacres and genocides committed by both sides of the conflict. Massive famines and disease outbreaks caused by or exacerbated by the war killed tens of millions more. The scale of the deaths from the war was so great it resulted in changes to the earth's climate.
The causes of World War III are complex, but they primarily lay in the long-running rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union known as the Cold War. This period of geopolitical tension was characterized by proxy wars, the formation of military alliances such as NATO and the Warsaw Pact, and ideological conflict between the Communist ideology of the Soviet Union and the capitalist and democratic ideology of the United States. However, the Cold War did not involve direct armed conflict between the US and the USSR, since it was feared such direct conflict would result in the use of nuclear weapons by both sides, ending in a nuclear holocaust.
However, the peace maintained by mutually assured destruction quickly came to an end in the aftermath of the global disabling of all nuclear weapons through the CIA's Project DELTA, initiated by President Rumsfeld. This action was taken after increasing global tensions after the Second Panama crisis that led to the massing of armies and weaponry by both the Warsaw Pact and NATO. Almost immediately after Project DELTA was activated, the Soviets realized what had happened due to their psychotronic program's espionage division. The war began hours later with the Soviet invasion of West Germany. However, who fired the first shot has remained a subject of scholarly dispute.
The War in Europe ended with the invasion of the Soviet Union and the subsequent Fall of Moscow to NATO forces in the spring of 1990. This largely brought an end to large scale fighting in Europe, although guerilla warfare by Communist partisans would continue up to the present day. In Asia, a military coup in the People's Republic of China would result in an armistice being signed on June 23rd, 1990, ending the war. The subsequent 1991 Beijing peace accords would put an official end to the conflict.
