Could Britain Survive A Nuclear War?

With the development of the atomic bomb, questions arose about how mankind could survive the existence of such a weapon, and what a war where they're used would look like. With the development of the hydrogen bomb, these questions were answered - mankind could not survive the use of such a weapon, and a war where they're used would mean oblivion.
This video looks into how the UK government perceived nuclear war breaking out - and how it intended to counter this damage.
This is one of the strangest videos I've ever made - I like to focus on the history of the Imagined - less the stuff that actually occurred, and more the stuff that people perceive had occurred. Nuclear war is, by necessity to us, a thing which we can only imagine.

I greatly dislike the present crop of politicians in Britain. I'm also well aware of the gund-ho martial attitudes of the British. However, I think it is unlikely they would lead you into such a war. They well know what the consequences of such a war would be for Britain as we have seen outlined above. Not to mention their families. If you haven't seen a little movie called 'Threads' I recommend it for showing just a little of the horror of a nuclear attack. I would suggest you might like to have a stiff drink before, during and probably after. Even if you don't drink ... Grim with a capital 'G'.

The OP did this too but with a little more finesse. They said "No. To small and unprepared." Clearly that is not a complete sentence either. The referent there is "to small and unprepared".

UK Planning during the 80's was to not to evacuate civilians at all, keeping business and industry running right up to the last minute. The thinking being to make sure the economy keeps making that sweet sweet money until the buckets of instant sunshine pay a visit. The point of 'Protect and Survive' advice was intended to make it easier to identify bodies by linking them to the house. That way if anyone was keeping bothering to keep track, they could. In Glasgow, there were blocks of flats designed to be converted to hold prisoners (Eventually demolished about 10 years ago I think?).

I've read some other sources, like "Nuclear War Survival Skills" and honestly, it isn't a such huge doom and gloom. Yes, it'd be a tragedy, but many forget about certain stuff, that change the game, like halflife of isotopes. Nuclear winter? Hard to tell, on one hand we have dust and smoke, on the other one we have marine currents. Also it seems people are overrating the yield of potentially used nukes. And if none of that will convince you: by surviving you get to choose if you still want to live or not, by dying this choice is taken from you and you won't get the chance to live again.

Giving cyanide pills to the survivors would be the kindest response by the authorities, sure some might survive a nuclear exchange but it would be decades before life would start to be worth living again and even then we would be living in a pre industrial society and we would only be able to gradually build back up our manufacturing capacity. A problem I don't hear being addressed is that the damage that would be caused by nuclear power stations being hit or even the lack of personnel that would be around to keep them from blowing up after a war, reactors going into meltdown or the leaking of radioactive waste due to neglect would cause a lot of additional contamination to an already poisoned world, I wish I shared your optimism.

@@davidw8110 i'm afraid they weren't secret even before Duncan Campbells Warplan as quite a few people had done national service in the ex RAF ones.I found Hack Green when it was still in use and very active (i'm not from the area) at the third attempt and found 95% of the others,the bungalow was a dead giveaway for the ex ROTORPLAN ones. You might be astonished to learn that some of them still had RAF signposts,despite being RGHQs and SRHQs (government bunkers) or had signs saying "Crown Building"

Great stuff , but I think you should mention how the concept of nuclear winter is not set in stone, modelling suggests it might have very little effect at all. Which if you think about it can make sense. Heavy particles ejected into the atmosphere (we now understand) tend to return to earth in about a week. This would severely limit the damage of such explosions and do us a real solid.

See: 'Q.E.D. - A Guide To Armageddon - Nuclear War Documentary (1982)' It's on KZfaq. The ending gave me a cold chill all the way down my spine when I was 14.

Yes it's worth it to survive, the first generation after the Fallout would have it the easiest, there would still be canned food everywhere, the second generation would face starvation and cannibalism, as the Fallout stops falling the sky would open up to more sunlight, the first new farmers would begin again, the future of the human race would depend on the first and second generation after the war going through a hell on earth, but the 3rd generation would be able to rebuild and form new societies, the polulation of the planet would be tiny at first, but with time and the radiation getting less and less, after about 100 years we would rebuild society. To just give up is a choice, but staying and surviving is the right thing to do for the future generations of humanity

Ruth looked like she was in her 80’s 12-13 years later when she succumbed to the harsh conditions and died. Nuclear winter would be rough.

I find it somewhat curious that I was born exactly 9 months after the peak of the cold war crisis. It's almost like my parents made their last stance 🤔
