With global tensions rising, many people are reluctantly asking where safety might exist if World War III were to happen.

As the article notes, “the world is far from peaceful at the moment,” and history shows conflicts often expand, drawing in more countries.

Ongoing wars, military posturing, and political instability across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East have fueled anxiety.

Some European governments have even issued guidance on emergency preparedness, highlighting how seriously the threat is being taken.

Still, the article makes clear that absolute safety is unlikely.

“The stark reality is that no place would be entirely immune,” even in a global or nuclear conflict.

However, geography and political neutrality could improve chances of survival.

Certain remote regions are often cited as better options due to isolation and distance from major military targets.

New Zealand, for example, is described as “the ideal example of ‘where to escape when everything goes wrong,’” thanks to its remoteness and lack of strategic importance.
