LONDON (Reuters) - Relations between the Soviet Union and the West had become so tense 30 years ago that British officials drew up a speech for the Queen to deliver to the nation in the event of a nuclear war, newly released archives showed on Thursday.
In the speech, the monarch was to urge Britons to remain united and resolute in the face of the "madness of war."
Written by government officials, the hypothetical speech was part of a secret exercise designed to prepare Britain for the threat of a possible World War Three, but was never broadcast.

But I highly doubt the UK would have been defended for long if Germany had owned and controlled all of Europe, now would it.
You talk about pissing matches, but you are creating one of your own.

It's what they do and then they run to the US to save them when it gets too hot. Same with countless other countries but we're the bad guys.
Maybe we should just turn our back on some of these countries and see how they fare.
It really pisses me off when you American view the UK as some defencless island of cowards in world war 2 that needed saving like france. You are basicaly ignoreing the hundred of thousands of UK and its common wealth allies that fought and died along side your Americans. I find it offenisve to thier sacrifices. The USA DID NOT WIN world war II It fought alongside it allies for a joint victory. But some how most American cant seem to comprehend that
