Although World War III is something that nobody wants, it can certainly be helpful to think in advance about which are the safest countries.
Some of the countries are island nations with political neutrality, meaning the chance of them being invaded are low. Others are listed highly on the World Peace Index, while other nations are so small with a tiny population, combatants may not find any reason to invade at all. Here are the top 10 safest countries if World War 3 did break out.
Switzerland
Switzerland has a tradition of neutrality, which is one of the main principles of the country’s foreign policy.
This means the country will not be involved in armed conflicts between other states, so it ensures external security and promotes peace within its boundaries.
Even though it is surrounded by countries that could be targeted if World War 3 broke out, including Germany, France and Italy, the country is sealed off and protected by mountains which surrounds its border.
Tuvalu
Tuvalu is a very remote and neutral country deep in the Pacific Ocean.
It’s extreme location means the country can remain politically non-aligned and its small population and lack of resources means major powers will not have a reason to attack Tuvalu.
New Zealand
The secluded, yet developed nation is not involved in any armed conflicts in the world and its mountainous terrain will help to protect the country from any wars breaking out.
New Zealand also has enough food supplies, clean water and fertile soil to support itself in the short term.
Its peaceful foreign policy means it claims the second spot on the 2018 Global Peace Index.
Bhutan
Since Bhutan joined the UN, the country agreed not to get involved in conflicts.
And as it has no diplomatic relationship with the US, there is no reason to drag the country into any sort of conflict.
Surrounded by mountains, it is one of the most secluded land-locked countries in the world, so is protected if war did begin.
Chile
Chile is South America’s most prosperous and stable nation, and ranks higher than all other Latin American nations in human development.
The country is highly protected by the Andes Mountains to the west of its borders.
Iceland
Iceland remains the most peaceful country in the world, according to the Global Peace Index, a position it has held since 2008.
The country is far removed from the rest of the world so it could be left out of any conflict and even if it was involved, it has a mountainous terrain to take shelter in.
Greenland
Just like Iceland, Greenland is remote, mountainous and politically non-aligned so agin the country will be a safe retreat for anyone seeking refuge from war.
Malta
The tiny island nation in the Mediterranean, and is a small island fortress, meaning it has been protected despite many attempts to capture the country over the years.
Its small size also mean combatants of World War 3 might not want to waste an entire nuclear weapon on it.
Ireland
The country does not have strong ties to the potential combatants of World War 3.
Since the 1930s, the country has been neutral in international relations and has never joined NATO.
According to Irish law, if Ireland were to enter any external military conflicts their involvement must be approved by the UN, Ireland government and the Irish legislature, so the country is unlikely to get involved in WW3, so may be a good place to head.
Fiji
Fiji lies within the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean, meaning it is isolated from any potential invaders.
The small island nation has a small population, is neutral in foreign affairs and does not have any resources within its borders to justify an invasion of the islands.
Hi, For those believing this country New Zealand is paradise think again. With 6 million cows and unlimited sheep our rivers and lakes are not safe to use. Our politicians are like all the rest of the world’s, gutless and in the thrall the moneymen. We won’t talk about the racial problems…
Sounds like you would be at home in the US with all these pathetic, whining, ungrateful lefties that somehow don’t realize how GOOD we have it. And I am speaking of those of US in the western countries, NZ included….. would you care to live life say a few hundred years ago? Or how about North Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan, Venezuela… and I could go on to list about 90 percent of the rest of the world. Wake up and realize nothing is perfect and understand what you DO have.
Money is power.
Power are filthy rich people.
You’re filthy rich then you’ll meet filthy rich people.
And hang out with them.
You’re retarded with your shit click bait no country is safe from ww3 r u retarded
You clicked on it. Jokes on you, retard.
Better think of locations least targeted by a nuclear winter.
That’s not gonna happen. China is a traitor country. It will invade those countries at will. China is the dragon country mentioned in the Bible. It is a devil country.
In my opinion, if you open the history book, China is a peace loving nation that has never started war on any country throughout history. Prove me wrong.
But if President Trump provokes them, they are not afraid to retaliate. The choice is in his hand.
Bill Chow, what have you done to Tibet? Peace loving? No no no. China is the biggest problem on earth at this moment. Drugs came from China, Fake items came from China, everything illegal in commerce is done by Chinese. China provokes other Asian countries. You do not start a war but you are provoking. Chinese really are the Sick men of Asia before. Now they are the sick men of the world! Say Im a racist but chinese deserves that. Chinese are for some reason the menace of the world for it’ actions these days. Shame!
So true China is the satan
The minute Trump was elected I had a horrible feeling that he would be the start of World War 3. I am still very afraid. I hope I’m not the only one that feels this way. If he gets re-elected the world is f*****
Uhh liberals..
I agree.
Trump is a wealthy imbecile, he is completely out of touch with REALITY. He would enjoy a good war
Tibet
Shutup China is one of the worst country in asia, China ruining HongKong, China fucked Tibbet, China Accuqired AskiaChin in India. China Helping Pakistan for Terrorism activities. lmfao The only country that has never started fight proactively is India. From last 1000 years, India has never invaded a country or started a fight. SHAME On your knowledge and your education
Ye.fuck off
Well you have never read about the invasion of September 1965 and 1971, when India invaded Pakistan and Pakistan retaliated…….! You need to study History on a daily basis.
Pakistan started every war. Learn correct history and not paki propaganda…
Youre a shit without any solid knowledge!!
You are right. China is not an aggressor through thousands of years.
China attacked India, Viet Nam and recently tried to seize Bhutanese territory. Let us not forget occupied Tibet, outer Mongolia and eat Turkestan.
I agree, China is gonna be the world’s biggest problem in the future, I don’t trust China for nothing.
It already is. Soon their pollution will cover the entire globe.
I agree with you, that’s correct!
I also agree that there is no safest country in the world if the World War III begins! I suggest that we will be vigilant and always plan for the safety of our loving family.
What about haiti
Singapore, more or less like Malta, Switzerland and Fiji, is resource-deficient, small and a fortress too, yet inexplicably you have left it out from your list of 3rd World War Safe Countries ! Clearly its non-neutrality in potential conflicts seems to have been a criteria for your deliberate exclusion !
I don’t know about Malta. Powers may not nuke it, but the island is an important strategic location in the Mediterranean. It certainly got hammered in World War II when the Axis tried to take it.
Yep it is the most heavily bombed place on earth
Malta is also supposedly independent, but uncle Sam does not recognize it’s neutrality.
I think nothing is too safe from nuclear exposed..
All out nucular war, is a world killer , less you live in a hole under ground and have adequate provisions stored, and water
Only under the WINGS of GOD are you safe by being BORN AGAIN.
Only one name under Heaven can we be SAVED by is JESUS YESHUA as he Sits next to his Heavenly Father YHVH.
What planet are you from!!!
The only peace is from God moreover when world war 3 break out, just know that salvation is near
The Andes is east of Chile and the Pacific is on the west.
Read the article. It say says that “IT IS PROTECTED BY THE ANDES WEST OF ITS BORDERS,” this is correct.
I be moving to Iran if WW3 happens
What about australia
Shes hot!!
No any country will be safe in work war 3 , radiation of nuclear war will be eeverywhere, hhheee maybe safe is only Haven, I discovered we human are not so smart as we think, we will destroy ourselves , only small maionrity knows the truth but can’t do much, in the world is simulation, and no true reality that we live not good tomorrow,s world, I hope we will survive and hope for new generation maybe will be smarter than us now, greetings for better tomorrow
Israel is the safest place in the event of WW3
Nowhere is safe from nuclear fallout and the subsequent nuclear winter that follows
The only country will be safe is Ethiopia because it is protected by Jesse Christ if you remember history when Italy and Britain coming to colonised Ethiopians didn’t have any heavy guns and no technology but they win the war By the help of Jesus Christ he sending his soldiers like sent Giorgi’s so in this case Ethiopia is the most safe country in the world.
Tibet
Fairy tales are
not going to save anyone from nuclear war.
I think India is safe and peaceful country but the biggest problem is that idiot Pakistan and China because India has good relationship with all country and nation except that two
Remember that the world would have a nuclear winter longterm that would affect food production term
The only territory which is safe is found in Genesis 15 :18 ,moreover God wants to get lead off unchristian people from that land because its not theirs and so the war is the sign for soon coming pre-1000 years of earth darkness. And peace ll be only there.I’m afraid I have given much….
Hello! it’s called a world war 3, so the whole world will be involved, there will be nowhere to hide.
The whole world was not involved in world war 1 and 2 so that may not be the case
If the rest of America dies i want to die with them what the fuck do i want to live for if all my people die
Do you really think there will be
a safe place?
Guess what doesn’t care about secludedness? That’s right nuclear fallout. If a WW3 breaks out it will be all the big nations bombing each other and the rest of the world falling with them, no matter if they were involved or not.
Pakistan won 1965 war against india but remember they didnt started it.. Same happened in 1971 india attacked again pakistan lost Bangladesh which is now independent country india even didnt won that war or any area.. Now indians are killing lot of innocents in kashmir.. As far as china is concerned they are doing whats better for them they are not with either nation.
Pakistan has not won any war with India to date and started all. They were also backed by USA and China. Get your facts correct.
yeah wel for the planet it be better like 3 big ass nukes and though i don’t wish pain or death to any population in particular to anybody. Xept them greedy puppetmasters at the top. Imagine there’d be a few thousand years of silence first.
too many allah akbars, pakis and other sub-races losing their shit in the chat LOLOL.
Oh and Fuck China, Fuck it all at this rate. -troll face-
