Last year we have witnessed tense events that could have burst to a large scale conflict, possibly the a Third World War. Are we prepared for such an event? Our primal instinct, the survival, tells us that we must find a safe place to take cover and wait until the conflict wears off. But if such a global conflict happens, is there a place that could offer shelter for you? Here are the safest countries in the world that could save your life in in case of a Third World War.
Switzerland
Switzerland is a country that’s recognized worldwide for its neutral position in the past world wars. But don’t get tricked by this detail, Switzerland is a well-armed country, and its mountains are packed with military facilities. If such a large-scale conflict would break out, the refugees could shelter in the Swiss Alps.
Tuvalu
This small island nation is located in an isolated area of the Pacific Ocean. Due to its small size (only 26 km²), very small population and lack of significant natural resources, Tuvalu is not a threat to the neighboring countries and it could save your life in the case of a major event.
Bhutan
Bhutan’s territory is surrounded by the Himalayas, which can provide shelter in case of conflict. Since 1971, when Bhutan acceded the UN, the country has adopted a neutral position, just like Switzerland. Image source: Peter West Carey
