There is no official World War 3 storyline in The Simpsons canon main continuity, though there are episodes with jokes about WW3, apocalyptic scenarios, and future wars in Treehouse of Horror non-canon episodes, but no episode depicting WW3 as central plot, with show avoiding realistic WW3 due to comedy nature. The Simpsons is animated sitcom set in Springfield, focusing on family comedy and satire, not war drama, with occasional jokes about war and military, like episode Season 9 Episode 19 Simpson Tide where Homer joins Navy and nearly starts WW3 by accidentally launching submarine into Russian waters, played for comedy with Russia and US tensions, but not actual WW3, and episode ends without war. Treehouse of Horror episodes, which are annual Halloween specials with non-canon horror parodies, include apocalyptic scenarios with nuclear war, zombies, and end of world, but these are parodies not canon WW3. In future-set episodes like Bart to the Future Season 11 Episode 17, there is no WW3 mentioned, focus is on Lisa as President and budget crunch. Some fan-made fake images claim Simpsons predicted WW3, but these are edited hoaxes not real episodes, with no official Simpsons episode predicting or depicting WW3. So there is no WW3 in The Simpsons canon main series, only jokes about near-war and apocalyptic parodies in Treehouse of Horror non-canon episodes, with show not depicting realistic World War 3, as it is comedy sitcom avoiding dark war storylines, with only satirical near-war jokes like Homer almost starting WW3 in Simpson Tide episode.
