I’d give it till 2090 before we get history students talking about WW3 properly. WW2 ended in much of Europe and Asia being completely devastated, and the recovery was only as quick as it was because the Americas were mostly untouched by the war. WW3 is gonna be much the same, except possibly worldwide. We’ll bounce back, humanity tends to do that, but it’ll take longer before nation states are recovered enough to have these sorts of lessons.
