The Childrens Story by James Clavell in 1961, published in 1981. The movie was produced in 1982. For more info about how/why it was written... search Wikipedia. Regardless of the fact that the story talks about countries "winning and losing," this is currently happening and will become even more prominent., since the United States leadership started nudging us toward "one world government over 100 years ago" We'll only find out "who lost" when it's too late to do anything about it.
WTF's wrong with one world governments? It's about time people get over their national and ethnical and religious differences and unite for a common goal.
@TheVoiceOfReason93: then for you this movie must be a beautiful story... something to wish for. As you can see the children are also only skeptical at first, but after just half an hour they already begin to love their new future. And who knows, if it weren't for some stubborn old fashioned adults like Johny's dad, this story might have already become true. But that little opposition doesn't matter- adults get replaced by their children eventually. What a brave new world lies before us...
@TheVoiceOfReason93 What is wrong with a one world government? The fact that ALL past governments in history have failed and that our own will likely not be an exception in the future. The fact that a handful of people would be able to converse amongst themselves and rule over the entire world. If and when such a government becomes corrupt they would have the world under their thumbs. It is a dangerous situation.
