Here are the list of targets that were selected during the Great Nuclear War of 1962, commonly known as the Nuclear Apocalypse or Word War III. The war occurred as a result of the U.S. Invasion of Cuba when the Soviet Union directly intervened, resulting in direct clashes with American forces. All it took for it to escalate was when a USAF B-52 bomber returning from a bombing run in Cuba that crashed and exploded a nuclear device in the process. This mistake led the U.S. to think they were under Soviet attack and thus launched their missiles to the USSR, the Warsaw Pact, Cuba, China, and their allies. The USSR responded in kind though the country of France was spared despite it being a member of NATO. It was the deadliest conflict in human history, surpassing the two major conflicts of the 20th century. Estimated death toll varies, but it is highly accepted that many as 180 million people died on that day, with another 85 million dying due to fallout, radiation, infighting, starvation and sickness. As of 1990, no peace treaty has been signed meaning that the belligerents are technically still at a state-of-war, but the United States of the Pacific, the successor of the USA, and the Soviet Union have declared a ceasefire among their troops and their allies.
