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.
